Look. I am not hidding the fact that I am more to the right with regards to Israeli politics or any politics for that matter. Regadless, we have been surprised in the past. Look what Sharon did with disengaging from Gaza. Forget about whether we agree or not about whether it was a real disengagement or not and look at what he did internally in Israeli politics to make that happen.
Sharon was the die hard Right guy. A right that did not believe in giving anything to the Palestinians. He turns around and rejects that and the people who elected him and proposes this unilateral disengagement. Again forget about whether in hindsight it is a real disengagement or not becuase from the point of view of the Israeli at the time and the even now from the Israelis who used to live in Gaza this was a disengagement and it was counter to everything that Sharon was prior to that.
This is why I believe that anything can happen.
I believe that the mainstream politicians compromise. Maybe not a lot and maybe not as much as other may want them to, but they do.
I try to have a good outlook on things and be more optimistic but I am still closer to the realist side.
- I am Optimistic in that I believe that things COULD happen
- I am a realist in understanding that very few of the COULDs actually happen
- I am not a pessimist in that I don't walk around thinking that things can't happen.
Do I think there could be peace? With our currrent notion of what peace is; no, probably not.
Do I believe that there is some other notion (peace reality) out there that we can't see right now becuase we are incapable of seeing it. Yes. If I was able to see it I would be like the successful inventor that I mentioned before.
