Comments on: Why I’m Against Annuling the Treaty With Israel http://www.7iber.com/2009/01/why-im-against-annuling-the-treaty-with-israel/ What's Your Story?

Really???!!!!! Israel has no respect for any treaty, no matter what it is. Their interests is the main driver in any decision they make.. Also, I agree that we are not as powerful as Israel but I guarantee you they are not the least bit interested in starting a conflict with us this is a time they need friends not new enemies. To further make my point I will remind you that the Palestinians have made some agreements with the Israeli yet they are subject to ruthless Israeli war machine on a daily basis yet Syria who does not have a treaty has not been attacked by the Israel for decades (excpet for one isolated incident).

Your comment smacks of ignorance and arrogance. I get the impression that you copy and paste these same comments on different websites without even bothering to read the article beforehand. Its not your place to tell us who the terrorists are - we know all too well who is killing our people.

I can't imagine people in your country accepting an Arab visitor telling them what they should or should not do regarding their domestic affairs. The overwhelming majority of the people in the Middle East will never accept the presence of a foreign and illegitimate occupier on Arab land. That is the fact that you and the world should recognise. It is also utterly disingenuous of you to describe the victim and his oppressor as 'neighbours'! Please get educated about the matter before rushing off to tell us what you think.

Working hard and believing might be. What happened to the Palestinian people is undoubtedly unfair but complaining won't get you far, revenge and violence won't get you far either. We, the Arab world, have to get our house in order first before lecturing Israel on how it should behave. When there are so many unfair and unjust things that go on in our world, from discrimination, inequality, corruption, to hypocrisy. We have to fix what is wrong in our countries first, become stronger and then fight. Emotion won't get you far, it is one component but definitely not the entire recipe for success. believing is not enough. Working hard and believing might be.
