From my perspective we all should self-reflect in the national & identity level and the personal level. I know I cannot convince any of you ; I just ask you to recognize and respect different perspectives . I hope that from all perspectives we can share this one world.

Here some palyful: terminology of Blame Game it can be used to describe a repeatably failure that generates aggression within us and bring endless debate that the results are pre-known.

The Game goes like this in its simplest form:

- A: HERE IS A TRUE STORY "xxxx" since it is true I conclude that what I always SAID as truth "tttt" is valid and hence the solution is need to be "sssss". The root of all suffering is "rrrr" which and I blame the Israelis (or Palestinians) for bring that evil to our life.

- B: "xxxx" is a lie, go study history since the TRUE STORY "SSSS" since it is true I conclude that what I always SAID as truth "EEEEE" is valid and hence the solution is need to be "GGGGG". The root of all suffering is "KKKK" which and I blame the Palestinians (or Israelis ) for bring that evil to our life.

The peak of the Game where we see :

- A: I just proved that you are a narrow minded person with f**ked propaganda and I not need to listen to you as you are agent of Evil

- B: Who do you call agent, you are Jew (Arab) lover and ignore relity and poison our beloved forum with you empty Propaganda.

and it continue

(message to C): – B: did your see how A said this lies, he/she a member in the mossad (mohabarat) I am sure; we should kick his/her ass out and remember we are fighting for peace this is a war. so are you with me or against me?

This is just one template that you may recognize, there are many other forms that bring the same output.

The cost of the blame game – empty discussion with expected pre-known outcome.
so sad and so human . will we be able to get deeper conversations?

Love is more powerful than evil and good will win out when enough people choose to do good.

One who has, is Dr. Khalid Diab, an American Palestinian Muslim who is the voice of PRO: Peace, Reconciliation and Opportunity.

Dr. Diab was inspired by the events of that day we call 9/11 to bring together a few thoughtful, committed, American Jews, Christians and Muslims to establish the Olive Trees Foundation for Peace/OTFFP in Orlando, Florida in June of 2003.

The Dream of the Olive Trees Foundation for Peace is to provide one million fruit bearing trees to be rooted on BOTH sides of The Wall to help replace those that have been destroyed because of it.

The Dream of the OTFFP community is that the food bearing trees will heal, repair and transform minds, hearts and the environment.

The OTFFP literally extends the olive branch of reconciliation to all the cousins in the family of Father Abraham and as of June 2008, forty-one thousand fruit bearing trees are now deeply rooted at Holy Land schools, churches, mosques and on private property in Israel and the Palestinian territories.

There are many Christians, Jews and Muslims who defy the daydreams of Pipes and Bibi with the Daydream of PRO: Peace, Opportunity and Reconciliation:
