The main problem with some Israeli politicians, intellectuals and part of the public itself is that there is still a delusion hovering in the air that the Arabs would wake up and come to terms with the existence of the Jewish State.
A history of 1400 years of Jewish persecution by Islam is not evidence enough.
There are plenty of books on the subject starting with the Quran, Hadith and Sira.
Even over a hundred years of terror and war against the Jews living in the Holy Land does not deflect this delusion from many in Israel and America.
"Islam is a totalitarian ideology, its laws believed to be the literal word of Allah and, therefore, immutable in every respect through eternity. Their adherents are under obligation to “rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.” Among the many methods of warfare is lying. War is deceit, Allah is the “master of all scheming,” and deception has become an artform in Islam. Further, because lying is permissible in Islam, lies are not discernible because the deceiver bears no conscious guilt.
Although it is true that deception within Islam is subtle and sophisticated, it is only effective on willing subjects, those who already have a root of bitterness toward Israel, the Jews and/or Western civilization. Islam serves to formulate their contempt and justify it."
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. In this piece, however, I was focusing specifically on Palestinian voices between 1987–2000 and how those voices were silenced. While the broader issues you raise are clearly important to you, they unrelated to this article. I’d value hearing your reflections on the particular voices and stories I shared here
Based on the last century of Arab wars and terror campaigns against the Jewish people in then Ottoman Empire, Palestine occupation by the Brits and today's Israel, I guess that if there were any voices of reason between 1987 to 2,000 the Oslo Disaster wiped them out.
Well, It looks like you read my article so you should know that there WERE voices of reason. And you should also know that Israel also had a part in silencing them during this particular period. Israel preferred the PLO over the local moderate and pragmatic leaders and against the wishes of many of the local Arab population.

That is correct. The Rabin government certainly brought this colossal disaster on our heads.
Absolutely
