By Israelis, do you mean Israeli Jews? Or do you mean people living in 1948 Israel?

See the documentary, “The Human Factor”, featuring Dennis Ross among others. Also a four part series on Israeli TV

Hopefully, IPC will win over the Ambassador!

WHO ARE ISRAELIS? Israeli Jews? Including settlers in the West Bank?

Elisabeth - All israely voters

Were we can see the 300 mmbers alkready voted?

not Jewish

Not jewish

Earthling!

Were we can see the 300 mmbers alkready voted?

Any Palestinians on this call?

I am Palestinian but in this setting last time I was not allowed to present ideas (Joseph alluded to this as "disruption")

Except for Israeli diplomats, who can vote from abroad via the embassies.

welcome mazin

Will Gaza be discussed during this simulation?

Mazin, I think I know your name. Formerly in Toronto? Yeah, I expect you were considered disruptive. And while I think this whole project may have some value, as presenting Jews with the idea that there might be alternatives to perpetual occupation, I’m afraid I think it’s a waste of time.

Thanks Jonathan. Just for the sake of correct introduction of Dennis Ross: he worked at WINEP (maybe still does) an offshoot of AIPAC (Israeli lobby in the US).

My understanding, then, is that people from Hamas can run for office?

Why are you not inviting Chomsky since you are inviting Dembosky the lawyer who is pro zionist

I believe Noam Chomsky was on a previous simulation?

Wasn't Chomsky already a guest?

Aug 22, Chomsky. Viewable at https://ipconfederation.org/

The problem is most of us consider ourselves human beings not a tribe (Palestinains or Israeli). I would have had problem with this simulation if it was in south Africa under apartheid and was asked wither I belong to the "white" or "black" category (Israeli vs Palestinian or Jew vs arab does not make sense)

Does this acknowledge the power asymmetry?

Disagree: cooperation would be a far higher perspective.

Dear All

I am Palestinian live in Gaza, I am enjoying the discussion and I found it be very relevant. I strongly advocate for this idea.

www.palthink.org

do you any plans to invite Palestinian Saddawi?

Many thanks dear Ilan, things n Gaza don't look good unfortunately.

But you give veto power to a privilaged community to simply reject International law to protect human rights of the oppressed people (e.g. rejecting refugees' right of return)

Would sanctions for Gaza be removed?

Doesn't this give veto power more to Hamas than anyone else? Hamas would always veto with a few Palestinian votes anything that was not beneficial to itself. This gives them more power than the Israelis have.

no

I think your organization needs a Nobel Peace Prize for promoting Global Peace?

The question is: WHAT’S YOUR PLAN B?

hi

hi

Mr Avisar ,Its not same because we talk about homeless people who emigrated to new continent and for this they was on equal rights

we are living in a time when all Life is threatened and as humans we must learn how to live together. IPC could be a model of possibility. We aren't two people, we are many people sharing one living system.

I would like to share with the group my latest column on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in which I propose a different approach of conflict resolution: https://theconversation.com/making-peace-between-israelis-and-palestinians-is-now-the-time-for-a-different-approach-161565

مرحبا اتمنى ان يكون في الاجتماع

عربي لكي يترجم ما اقوله

Not necessarily.

and why am I not listed in the order of asking question to Dennis Ross?

I have a question, but I don't have the button to raise my hand

until people are allowed to meet and see each other as human and equal, there will be no move towards living together. they fear each other and project the worst without knowing the truth

The need is for a Public Peace Process which IPC symbolizes

Why is Israel not implementing Oslo agreement?

again A PUBLIC PEACE PROCESS

Niddal - In march 2001 I met a senior PLO member, Muhammed Nasal, the spokesman of the Palestinian delegation in Germany- He said that they got 95% + swop land, so who killed the peace prosses ? Let look at the future !!

What is the legacy of Ross as a USA Israeli negotiator. Is Ross a failure or a profitable voice of Israeli government?

Obviusly hypocritical. Supports war crimes (continued colonial settlement expansion) while "talking" about "support two states"!!!!!

اعتذر

Dennis: So do a public statement to ask the US government to stop it (which it can based on US law)

I think US arms manufacturers are more important in this particular conversation

I think the $4 billion annual US military aid to Israel should be conditioned on spending some of it on grassroots peacebuilding programmes

His language now is so much more honest: he want to destroy any potential enemies of apartheid Israel (what is the difference between him and Bennet or Netanyahu). He pushed for war on Iraq and now pushes for war on Iran.

Mazin. He said that we are under attack by Iran through all its various useful arms, like Hamas and Hezbollah

I will use the translator to tell you that I love you all

Do you Mazin feel that peace is possible while Hamas and PA do not even talk to each other? Who represents Palestinians?

thank you all

My life experience on the subject of peace and coexistence..it was painful..but I learned a lot..I learned it is inevitable to promote peace

Thank you Ambassador Ross for coming on and having an open mind!

The Clinton Parameters were written by Ross and other Israeli lobbyists to maintain the colonial system (plus they violate international law and basic human rights). my email mazin@qumsiyeh.org and happy to connect

Warda, we will get a one sate! Don't we? :)

Yes, I worked for Jews, they are good people

Adios!

My life dream is to make a film that promotes peace

But in my country, if I put forward the idea, I will lose

Excellent Educational Empowering discussions

Thank you for hosting this space
