Talking about "ready for peace" is another ambiguous term; what do you qualify as "being ready for peace". It's a process, talks and negotiations. |
Chafic it is true that Israel states everyday that it wants peace with Lebanon, just like they state they want peace with Syria and the Palestinians. Did you ever hear them asking to destroy the Palestinians? no of course not, but they are destroying them.
Peace has a price my friend, it is not just a wish. And whatever the price is for the Palestinians or the syrians I don't care about it, what I care about is the price of peace with Lebanon.
Lebanon has many problems because of Israel, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees (whatever the real number is), destruction because of many wars Israel launched against us, Shebaa farms, Lebanese prisoners in Israel, map for landmines in the south....... "being ready for peace" means is Israel ready to deal with all those issues with Lebanon?

And doesn't applying this rationale to Israel, implies applying it to anyone there might be a political or ideological disagreement (enmity) with? |
Negotiations, talking and trying to solve the problems is the
ONLY way my friend for all sides at the end. It is just that some, try with military means, to have a better position and a stronger one on the negotiation table. So until new lines of negotiations are drawn, it will be the same tit for tat situation.
