Peace

I believe every single issue we are facing in this world can be solved peacefully. I am unable to understand why some people are hell-bent on "destruction" of State of Israel. Palestinians believe that Israel belongs to them and so do the Jews; If we believe something is ours, we don't try to destroy it and infact we would love it. The Land of Israel will remain the same whether you call it Israel or Palestine.It is the same land Jews love and it is the same land Palestinians claim as theirs, so

1) There is NO point in calling for its "destruction" and everyone should love it in the same way, it deserves to be loved.

2) Hamas and other Palestinians MUST take the initiative and stop attacking the innocent Israelis living in the State of Israel. According to wikipedia, "68% of Israeli Jews are Israeli-born". Those who were born there deserve to live there.This is common sense. Where will they go otherwise? How can they be asked to leave Israel? There is no justification for attacking any innocent, especially whose birth, childhood, adolescent and adulthood has all been in Israel.

If we all look for peaceful solutions, we will definitely find them.

Peace to all.
