Yeah right! Well,
“Hey diddle, diddle
“The cat and the fiddle.
“The cow jumped over the moon.
“The little dog laughed
“To see such sport.
“And the dish ran away with the spoon.”

The one voice here can only be that of the True Jews and True Palestinians, since both people are always on the side of the slave, never the slave-master, even (better, especially) when the slave-master is a relative, friend or co-religionist.  And in this Middle East conflict who’s the slave?  The Palestinians, of course, since it’s their homeland that’s under occupation by Jewish settlers, being that having one’s land taken over by another people is to be enslaved. 

So what would one True Jewish/Palestinian voice have to say about Israel/Palestine?  Something like, “How about us sitting down together to figure out how we can get along, with the terms and specifications of our agreement to be set by the Palestinians this time, that’s what.”

What a beautiful video and what a great organization. AIPAC needs to realize that a short video like this does more to build support for Israel than thousands of hours of their attacks on President Carter and other would-be peacemakers.

Wow… More than 70% support a two state solution! Another example of massive democratic deficit funded by the war merchants.

what a beautifully simple and powerfull message.  It’s my belief that the powers that be love to see us(the citizens)fighting each other because it makes it easier to control the resorces.

Absolutely there’s only one voice in Palestine/Israel that is the voice of LOVE, HUMANISM, MUTUAL RESPECT, FREEDOM, CHARITY AND JUSTICE, CONCESSION…

Those who want the war to solve internal problems ought to be anihilated. And first of all the internal affairs will not be conciliated
with dirty tricks from other countries.

Wonderful!  I am a high school English teacher who just started teaching a new semester elective in Peace Studies.  I will show this video to my students—wonderful, hopeful stuff.  Thanks so much for bring attention to it!
