Woah there kitten, lets not get carried away. Israel doesn't strike me as peaceful. It was a state born out of warfare. I mean, the incursions into
the Gaza strip don't sound peaceful. The invasion of Lebanon doesn't sound peaceful. The killing of aid workers doesn't sound peaceful. The secrecy
behind their nuclear and biological capabilities doesnt sound peaceful. The funding of civil war in Palestine doesn't sound peaceful...
Well, most states were born out of warfare. That's nothing special. I mean, Austria and America were born of warfare too. (And forget about India.
You want to talk about violence?) Israel was actually born of international treaties. Had the surrounding states not chosen to attack them there
wouldn't have been the warfare you're talking about.
As far as everything else goes I think the point that GT was making was that Israel, as opposed to Iran, has shown itself to be more than willing to
live and let live with any state that is willing to have peaceful relations with it. There has been a lot of violence involving Israel, everyone knows
that. But every instance has been related to a state or group attacking them. Every nation, even previous enemies like Jordan and Egypt, who were
willing to live in peace have been able to do so with Israel.
