Israel's Search for Peace


(Los Angeles Daily News) Yuval Rotem - The legacy of our peace with Egypt teaches that when Israel is offered real peace, via negotiation and not intimidation, it reciprocates with eagerness and vigor. There is no more important message that must be declared directly to the Palestinian people: Israel has no reason or interest to fight you. There is no wish to control you, rule over you, or determine your lives. Israel wants to live with you, and not die because of you. Israelis want to share with you, and not take from you. We want to respect you as good neighbors, not fear you as dreaded enemies. Appeal to our hearts, and you will find us yearning to make a generous peace with you. The writer is consul general of Israel in Los Angeles.
