My letter to the LA Times RE ISRAEL: 'Avatar' and the Palestinian blues

RE: ISRAEL: 'Avatar' and the Palestinian blues blueshttp://latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2010/01/israel-avatar-and-the-palestinian-blues.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BabylonBeyond+%28Babylon+%26+Beyond+Blog%29&utm_content=My+Yahoo
Dear Editor,

"ISRAEL: 'Avatar' and the Palestinian blues"... Good headline! And what a fascinating story. Obviously the Israel/Palestine conflict left unresolved will continue to create its own conflicts within conflicts within conflicts.

Face the facts- Israel, with many loyal citizens, is already on the path towards progress. Palestine needs to be too.... Big picture is there needs to be a Palestinian state, and the Palestinian state that needs to be needs to be its own separate fully functioning, sovereign viable state with its own state building citizens inspired to empower Palestine, progress and peace for Palestine's sake.

In hoping for the best I can not help but visualize the perfect balance of an I-Ching symbol: Within Arab Palestine there will be some Jews, and within Jewish Israel there will be some Arabs. This I-Ching visual is a gentle metaphor, not a call for forced transfer, injustice and even more bigotry: The actual numbers of which are where do not matter- what matters is full respect for the rule of fair and just laws- and full respect for basic human rights, for everyone's sake.

Sincerely,
