1. you mean the negative propoganda about israel isn't true??
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (01.29.08)
go figure. i just hope when these non-israeli students return home they won't be accused of being zionist collaborator spies for not outright hating he jews on sight.

Israelis are not monsters..... Shall we laugh or cry...????
3. Students meet in Qatar.
vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (01.29.08)
From this there maybe some hope and understanding. Qatar has shown a great deal of foresight and I as an Israeli applaud them. Perhaps the U.N can take a leaf from their book?
4. Is this good?
Bill Nedson ,   tel aviv   (01.29.08)
Wow, first al Jizeera english proves less anti-israel than cnn and now qatar's mock UN is less anti-israel than the UN itself. What's next, Zionist Islamists in Karachi? This must be some sort of psychological warfare to confuse us. I don't know if this is good or disgusting

6. who is the real enemy?
Tuvia ,   Betar Ilit   (01.29.08)
Some months ago I had the opportunity to work with a Syrian physician from Damascus. After I explained to him what the Romans and then the Europeans did to us for the last 2000 years, he understood our need to be in Eretz Yisrael.
7. How untrue
Mohammad ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (01.29.08)
Your charge de' affair is so wrong. It is you who always show Arabs as war mongers and monsters and sub- humans. You stole the land, killed the people, bombed our cities, and we are to die peacefully??? Just remember that the Arab Muslims saved your skin while you were in Spain. You escaped to Morocco, not to France, where you were treated well and lived well with the people. You could not have survived Spain without the Muslim Arabs, and this is your pay back? Such ingratitude.. When you learn some more decency, we can talk more, but until then, you need to work on your ethics and learn some more history of who really oppressed you, and it is not us dummies.
8. #5 Alan - More like 100 years
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (01.29.08)
The constructive building and modernization of Israel began about approx. 100 years ago with the Aliyot adding to the existing population. But they were met with massacres of 1920, 1929, and 1936 under Haj Amin Al Husseini. As the late and honored Abba Eban said "The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss and opportunity."
9. Any chance those Israelis are Syrian or Lebanese Jews?
Joe ,   Los Angeles, CA   (01.29.08)
I highly doubt it... Just one more plot to whitewash history in an attempt to fool people into believing that coexistence is possible. Jews and Arabs tried coexistence for 1400 years. It didn't work then and it won't work now. http://www.justiceforjews.com The facts don't lie.
10. Muhammad, peace after war is true
elinor ,   Iran   (01.29.08)
I am an Iranian. We had 8 years of bloodiest wars with one of the Arab countries, a neighbor. You cannot compare the scope of casualities and loss from the both sides. We are friends now, our people interact, trade , travel to one anothers' countries. It is time for Arabs and Israel to reconcile as well, and it is not untrue. You can see the signs, and the youth are the ones with a merciful heart who could initiate the good wills, good acts.
11. I bet these students were from Rehavia, Gymnasia Herzlia,etc
Tahl ,   Israel   (01.30.08)
Interesting how only the privileged students from the most prestigious schools, get to travel abroad on such prestigious missions. Were there any students from the poor periphery on this trip?
