Peace not War

Greece and Turkey are like children bickering over a ragged doll - Why do you have to include Israel into your conflict? For three millenia we have survived and have been slaughtered for nothing more than our very culture and religion that set us apart. We have kept our faith through good times and bad, taught and cherished our children, loved our wives and husbands. Brother and sister in hand we have waited for mashiach, yet to come. Now we come to reclaim our ill-vacant ancestral homeland. War, conflict, hate, misery. We ISRAEL want peace.

War with either Greece and/or Turkey is a ridiculous concept. It would mean the end of Israeli state and all that she stands for. Neither military and diplomatic might of Greece nor Turkey alone will end Israel, but the sovereign state will diminish solely because our Arab brethren and the world wish it. If this were the case Israel would still live on in OUR hearts and souls. Israelite, Greek, Turk, Arab live and love it!
