There are good people everywhere.

I was reading an article in the haaretz newspaper online, it was on the Israeli - Palestinian issue. Specifically Israel considering further unilateral moves and debate on its results. There was a feedback section. As usual it was filled with a polorized debate and a lot of hatred and name calling, this is what I posted, i know its a bit idealistic and cliched, but it really needed to be said:

the article btw is: http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/630325.html

We are all children of God, everyone of us. Brothers and sisters. (Muslim, Jew, Christian...) It doesnt matter how you say the words, or perform the rituals, we all believe in the same God, the same truth. Its different rays from the same source.


Everyone deserves to live in peace. Everyone deserves a place to live. Fences are not the answer.

Terrorism is a plague on humanity. It reflects on all of us. There is no excuse for killing innocent civilians. All life is precious.

Liars, murderers, arms dealers and war profiters should not be the ones we follow.

We all need to work together.

Peace can not be achieved unilaterally, it must come through mutual respect, compromise and sacrifice (difficult but necessary). There are 2 sides in this conflict, the side of peace and the side of war. Take a moment to really understand your neighbour.

May love prevail so that our children can laugh and play together.

God bless you all

The good people of the world cant keep silent and let the debate be dictated by loud mouths. gotta speak up and let the world know there are good people every where. There are still believers in Goodness, peace. Apathy and cynacism must be challenged always.

Antiwar.com

An excellent site. Its a good portal to many interesting articles written in different papers / blogs sites around the world. Obviosly it has a clear bias, (liberal perspective) but its transparent. I generally agree with most of the commentary made here. Its not simply about american politics but has sections on most hot spots around the world. www.antiwar.com
