i wort the piece about israel and that you should look at it from a complacs poine.
just wanted to say that my name is itay and you can reach me at

I had a hard time reading this article, i think you have been misled and you should learn the facts,
I am an israeli, i locate myself in the left side of the political map. I support the founding of a palestinian country, I support the returning of the left bank, the gaza strip and east jerusalem, i think israeli-arabs suffer from discrimination by law, i work to change it an so on. BUT YOU NEED TO LEARN THE FECTS.
1. zionism, the way i practic it and the way our fathers ment it to be, is a peacfull movment, and not everything that is commited by israel is a zionist action. accusing the zionizm is saying that we dont deserv a state.
2. we hhave had several wars with the arabs, every war ended diffrently and the issues it created should be dealt differently.
in the 67 war we started the war, we conquerd, so it is our reasponsibility. but the refuges and the refuge camps are a diffrent story and we sould realize it. they are the aftermath of the 48 war, in which we agreed a peacfull establishment of an arab and an israelien states in this area (according to the resolution the israeli state was smaller), and the arabs didnt so the arab countries attacked us. the refuges are the aftermath of thos actions, so the reasponsibility of the refuge problem and were they would live is oures, but is also the reasponsibility of jorden, egypt, suria, lebanon etc.
the situation is complicated, we are doing a lot of awful things, terrible things, and it is very bad. we to reasponsible for the failure of the peace process here, but we SHOULD NOT SIN IN SHALOWNESS AND CHEAP DEMAGOUGIE. we should learn the fact and seperate between the different troubls.
for exemple: we reasponsible for the humaniterian crises in gaza, but so does the hamas and the gaza population who elected hamas in a democratic process,
We are reasponsible for a lot of bad things, but it is truly a complex situation, there is more then one dimantion,
