The Palestinians Want Peace --- Just Not With a Jewish State

Prophecy Sign:  The hatred of Ishmael’s offspring, (Arabs), towards the offspring of Isaac, (Jews)

So just how is Israel suppose to make peace with a group, (the Palestinians), that has no intention of ever recognizing Israel’s status as the Jewish State, and in fact has it in its charter, (see videos below), to eliminate what they call the Zionist presence in Palestine? The Arab world hates Israel, hates the Jews and hates the God that Israeland the Jews, (as well as Christians), represents. However God still loves the Arab people as he loves all people of the world. In fact God loved the forefather of the Arab people, (Ishmael), so much that he blessed him and his offspring as a great nation of peoples. Pray for the people of the Arab world that they would come to know the true God, (Yahweh), and his son Jesus Christ.

The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." Genesis 16:11-12 NIV

From the article:

Israel, in the Palestinian view, is an Israeli state, not a Jewish state. As Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, wrote in The Washington Post this past Friday: "Two Israeli peace proposals, in 2000 and 2008 … met virtually all of the Palestinians' demands for a sovereign state in the areas won by Israel in the 1967 war — in the West Bank, Gaza and even East Jerusalem. But Palestinian President Yasser Arafat rejected the first offer and Abbas ignored the second, for the very same reason their predecessors spurned the 1947 Partition Plan. Each time, accepting a Palestinian State meant accepting the Jewish State, a concession the Palestinians were unwilling to make.

That is the issue. Not settlements. Not boundaries. The Palestinians, like most of their fellow Arabs and like many Muslims elsewhere, have never acknowledged that the Jews came home to Israel because they have never acknowledged that the Jews ever had a national home there. And they don't even acknowledge that the Jews are a people. Do the Palestinians want peace? I have no doubt that they do. Just not with the Jewish state.
