So what do you think about the past, we must not be prisoners to it. Our problems must be tackled through partnership, progress should be shared.

    This does not mean we should ignore the causes of tension. In fact shows the opposite: We must face these tensions. And in this sense, let me speak as clearly and simply as possible on specific issues that I believe we now have to meet together.

    222It is in the interest of Israel, the interests of Palestine that the U.S. interest and the interest of the world. I will the roadmap is clear. If peace comes, it is time for them – and us – to live up to our responsibilities.

    The Palestinians must renounce violence. Resistance to violence and murder is wrong and denied. For centuries, blacks in America as slaves lashes and humiliation of racial segregation have suffered. However, it was the violence that has claimed the full and equal rights. It was a peaceful and determined insistence on the ideals in the heart of the founding fathers of the United States. The same story is of people in southern Africa to Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe will be told to Indonesia. It is a story with a simple truth: violence is a dead end. to start a sign of the value or power, rockets on the sleeping children, or older pop on a bus. Not so, as claimed moral authority to surrender to how.
    It is now time to focus on the Palestinians, which they can build. The Palestinian Authority must develop their ability to work with institutions that govern the needs of the population needs. Hamas does not support some Palestinians, but also obligations. To play a role in the realization of Palestinian aspirations, and to unite the Palestinian people, Hamas must end violence, recognize past agreements and recognize Israel’s right to exist.
    Meanwhile, the Israelis have to recognize that just as the right of Israel’s right to exist should not be denied, nor can Palestine. The United States does not accept the legitimacy of the Israeli settlements. This design violated previous agreements and undermines efforts to reach for peace. It is time to stop the settlements.

    Israel must also ensure its commitment that the Palestinians live, work and develop society. And destroyed as well as Palestinian families, puts the humanitarian crisis in Gaza does not serve Israel’s security, or lack of opportunities in the West Bank.
    Progress in the daily lives of the Palestinian people must be part of a path of peace, and Israel must take concrete steps to enable this progress.
    Finally, the Arab states recognize that the Arab peace initiative

For over sixty years who have suffered the pain of expulsion. Many are waiting around in refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza Strip live in peace and secuhe situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. U.S. not to give back to the legitimate aspirations of Palestinians for dignity, and a country.

    For decades we have permanent, two people with legitimate aspirations, each with a painful history, that makes compromise difficult. It’s easy with your finger – number of the displacement of Palestinians following the creation of the State of Israel and Israeli officials hostility and constant attacks in its history inside and outside its borders. But if we the conflict in one way or the other, then we close our eyes see, the truth is, the only solution that persist the aspirations of both parties by creating two states, where Israelis and Palestinians for Peace and security.

      Hi Niki,
      I just received your friendship request. I feel I should let you know that I’ve stopped coming here and usually only do so when I receive a friendship request. When I joined, I came here every day, tried joining various groups, posted a lot of things, but nothing really ever developed from my attempts. It seemed futile to me so I just didn’t bother anymore. On rare occasions, I will receive a friendship request, but again, nothing ever seems to go any further than that.

      My intent when I joined the site was to actually develop some friendships here, but I guess I must have missed figuring what the ”trick” is of making that happen. I would definitely be on this site and an active part of the community blogs and such if I would get some feedback or individual communications from people (since that was my whole purpose for joining). But to this point, I’ve had no such luck. If it’s something I’m doing wrong, or not doing, I wish someone would just tell me because I would be glad to try it. But I guess most people on here have their own specific little groups and don’t don’t realize how much new comers really want to be part of things here. I’m treated that way every day of my life as it is…

      But I’m not giving up. I still hope that one of these times one of the friendship requests will actually turn out to be an honest request to develop one rather than just a one shot deal and when it does, you will definitely see me popping on with consistency.

      Thank you Niki for reaching out. As I understand, you can message me through the site or if you’d prefer, my home addy is: toscarlett@hotmail.com

          Hi Scarlett,

          I appreciate your honesty. It is NOTHING you are doing wrong. I think it just may be a rule of numbers. Our membership is small, and it is just a website. We cant make people use it nor is it funded at the moment to advertising and grow in a big way. We are kinda doing what we can for now.

          Here is a interesting social media fact: On average, 1-2% of a website’s users, and/or members are considered ”hard users”. WIth under 300 members on the site, this means we should have 1-3 daily users.

          I can confidently say we hover around 10-15% any given week. More so when our blog content is vibrant.

          I can also honestly say that the site becomes more active when I am personally here daily, talking to people, working on the organization.

          The last couple months have been very challenging for me personally as far as time is concerned.

          I have attempted to set the site up with some self sustaining momentum, via site leaders and the ILWAD Army, but we are not Facebook with millions of users to benefit from.

          I have some big changes for the site planned as soon as I can refocus on the project. I hope we can always keep growing and improving what this special project is, but I cannot do it alone.

          Bless you for being here with us. If there is anything I can do personally I am a message away, always.

          Warmest, Ron
