we will recognize Israel. This was during the Persian Gulf War..so Israel put gas masks on little children as the world watched. They put tape on all windows and CNN was there every day to cover the innocents, terrified to go to school in case a scud misslie hit the towns and the families would be apart..on and on...was it 39 scud missiles? Can you imagine a mother sending her children off to school and trying to work or do the chores in her home? The Patriot missile supposed to destroy the missiles never worked and we, in the U.S. were shown homes in rubble and big craters in the homes and on the streets.

Again, the Palestinians said, Peace..Israelis gave them guns so the police could patrol their streets and have no crime...short time later..the guns were turned on the Israelis.

Now, again, ARABS are telling the Israelis what they must do in order to be recognized. I thought that Israel was recognized by the U.N. as a Jewish State in 1948.

To the current generation of Israel, many Jewish people died to help create the state of Israel. Remember that when you give it away and help put yourself in jeopardy since today's peace suggestion is tomorrows pushing all of the Jews into the sea.

Trust but verify..22 Arab States should have supported the Palestinians but they pushed them out of Jordan, and Iraq and all the other states and kept them poor and told the people stories that it is the fault of the Jews. They still do. Any piece of paper that is signed by the Arab League is useless unless there is peace first.

Even in the United States the Palestinians danced with glee on 9/11..so how could they accept Israel until they accept the United States as their country?
