I'm not surprised to see an ex-Israeli soldier here with an open heart and sympathetic feelings towards Palestinians. I just hope to see and meet more people like you and I hope that you spend more time teaching (as you said education is the key...) Israelis, specially the young generation, the meaning of being the occupier and the need for peace and justice for all. Only then we can dream of achieving peaceful future. Tamir,

I did not enter a single point of conflict but yet I experienced such anguish for the land my people call home. I don't really know what to say here except that I'm so, so sorry for Majda, her child and all the other victims of the Zionist regime. My experience living in the Jewish parts of Palestine (I can't bring myself to call it Israel for fear of validating the atrocities committed by the regime's founding Zionist terrorists) as the occupying force did not clearly register with me during my time there. All I remember was a continuous feeling of double standard, inequity and sense of precarious domination. During my service I would carry either my automatic rifle if traveling between cities or my sidearm if just on duty in my own town. Now, 20 yrs later, I finally recognize that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. My eyes have been opened and I have seen the humanity of the Palestinians. I hate to speak of it that way but I am relieved that I am no longer deceived and I don't know how else to explain it. Let me also say that I am no longer fooled by the illusion of civility being peddled by Israel's leaders. There are animals in high places in the holy land. My sincere feeling is that education is the key to opening the eyes of the Israeli and the American public so that they might see the gross injustice being done in their names and demand through peaceful protests an end to one of the darkest and most insidious conditions to pervade our species since the dark ages.

I never been to Palestine either, but I went to Lebanon once in 1992. My parents took me to Sour and a little bit past it is the UN checkpoint. I saw Palestine standing at a check point. We weren't allowed to go past any further. But that's a long time ago. Now it is probably a lot worse to even SEE the land. Hey Haitham.

They are all settlers and invaders (Palestine is from The River to The Sea). 2. The Zionist movement that started moving followers from 119 years.

But just as their experiment has failed to subjugate and lord over the Palestinians, their experiment to control the world will fail!!

I was 17 and just finished my high school. Now I'm 38 years old, with three kids, Israel didn't allow any of them to see Palestine. I had similar experience with my son, Noor. 2005, I had to drive to the closest point to Palestine from the Jordanian side to show him Palestine.
