A few doubts

Dear Daniel,

While all four reasons are indeed important and defining, there are a few doubts that the tide can be reversed.

First, the eternal world illness of antisemitism is still and likely will be present for quite a while, which will impede the normolizing of Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, European and Russian perception towards Israel and the Jews.

Second, terrorism is like the Genie being let out the bottle is not as easy to put back. The spread of terrorism, its "normalization" in out day-to-day life, its acceptance as a "legitimate" weapon in international conflicts and its primary place in ISIS' arcenal.

All these will be the obstacles on the road back to ME peace.
