Hello Peter and all
When I said what I did about Palestinians having to convert to Judaism, it was tongue in cheek, if you will. I cannot imagine anything more offensive and punishing to a Palestinian than having to be turned into a Jew who they consider in the most of derogatory terms ....and which, of course, I know would not be possible.
While I am here..... I read Obama's speech and like you, I think he's in a dream world. I have to admit that I like some parts of his speech. It would be wonderful if we could have peace and co-existence with the Muslims and all others but Islam does not allow for that and I am afraid that Muslims, especially the extreme Muslims, will use that against us and especially Israel. So, if we are to extend our hand to Muslims, we would have to embrace Islam and that is not acceptable to me. With the Islamists it is their way or the highway with the only off-ramp leading right into the ocean.
Like Wafa Sultan and other Muslims are saying, ISLAM IS THE PROBLEM. In the mind of the Muslims, they cannot rest until all Jews and other infidels are exterminated from the face of the earth. Imagine, if you can, a world of only Muslims many of who have a habit or a lifestyle of killing and more killing. What will these killers do when there are no more Jews or infidels to kill? They will begin killing other Muslims for the least little thing. This is not a far-fetched idea because Muslims are doing that today.
Much of what you say, Peter, and much of what I say, ironically comes right out of the mouths of the Muslims themselves.
Another thing that has me baffled is the so-called moderate Muslim. My "moderate Muslim" friend who wants to see all killing stopped calls me a Zionist and who says she does not believe the Jews should have Israel as their own country, by her opposition to the existence of Israel, is contributing to the violence and the killing she hates in her small way because the way I see it, it is her attitude and that of her fellow, albeit moderate, Muslims that gives psychological support to the extremist Muslims. It is only when the Muslims begin acknowledging that Israel has a right to exist can there be any hope of the killing to stop and even then Islam is still the problem. When will it end? It looks like never ...a sad thought. But praise God, when the Jews' Messiah returns, peace and harmony will happen.
