Obstacle to Peace: Palestinian leadership’s hatred of the Jewish state
November 2, 2010 There is no higher obstacle to peace than hatred. Without fanatic hatred on any side there is always a chance to reach an agreement, even a peace treaty, through compromise. With fanatic hatred in mind how can any agreement hold? Most Israelis do not hate Arabs, or Palestinian Arabs; some do not hate even terrorists.

Peace & Peace Initiatives by Israel*
Peace is Israel’s dream, the dream of all Israelis and actually of all Jews, having suffered so much for want of it, praying for peace traditionally three times every day. Israel’s Peace Process is an important part of the frequently mentioned ‘Mideast peace process’ - but not equivalent to that. Many other conflicts exist in the Mideast and wider region, which are not connected to Israel at all; like between Muslims and Christians, Sunnis and Shiites, Iraq vs. Iran, Kuwait and Jordan – where not in the Middle East?
