Peace will beget peace. Israelis feel that fighting is enough and peace is where we should be going. There were lots of speakers, including Mosik Katzat, the President of Israel, Ehud Barak, the Prime Minister, Shimon Peres, former Prime Minister, Dahlia Perstof-Rabin, Daughter of Rabin and a leader of the Meretz party, plus there were singers like David Broza and Shlomo Artzi to sing about peace. The feeling at the rally was representative of the feeling all over the country, that peace is essential. But what is seen all over the world is Palestinians throwing rocks and being shot and killed by IDF soldiers.
Palestinian people are sick and tired of peace negotiations and are sick and tired of Israel.
They want a country and want to be rid of Israel. We hear the PLO news say that Israel is evil and just wants to destroy the entire country. Unfortunately, it is this that causes them to throw rocks and die for a cause that was almost sorted out at the peace table, not by fighting. So it's very frustrating. Israelis are sick of this war.
