Following from my earlier post, same train of thought - re: true power lies with the people going to vote at the Israeli elections coming up...
Question:
Are there large numbers of eligible voters who are not registered or voters who are too caught up in their own lives, trying to make ends meet, maybe working overseas and impractical (but not impossible) to vote or for other reasons who do not exercise their right to vote?
Like the example of MY. There were many eligible voters who did not vote in previous elections. But in the latest one, because people were moved to speak out against the govt's complacency, we made a big difference. Most of us have no intention to topple the govt and let the opposition rule but we wanted the govt to be mindful of our rights as citizens.
In respect of Israel, perhaps the voters do take their responsibility seriously and perhaps the hardliners are the majority. However, I heard (but unsure of reliability of source) that the peacemakers do number many as well and perhaps if the "fence sitters", the unaware (unlikely) and the ones not motivated to overcome the impracticalities of voting are moved to take action, then maybe there will be change.
Note: The hardliners' actions in Gaza can move their people either way - appease the hardliners and move more to come out and vote for them or move more peacemakers to change things.
To add - since Israeli elections coming up - it's more persuasive to be rational, not showing blind hatred. The only ones who can change the balance of power are the ones with the power to vote - internal, not external. External pressures help but true power lies with the people.

This is not true. We are reading, becoming more aware and doing our bit where possible. Not necessarily in the manner YOU think we should but we are and God knows. There are already enough threads on Gaza - so post your thoughts there. FYI, that's the reason why I post - to tag the thread to read updates. I use different pcs not belonging to me, so cannot simply bookmark everything. Starting too many other threads is very confusing and people who are not online all the time - out for meetings, got lots of work to do, etc. might miss new threads.
/Edit- one more thing, fyi - re: the fundamentalist position - the Muslims and the Christians are actually on the same side vis-a-vis the fundamentalist Jews (who are many, but not all). To the latter, the 1st 5 books are absolute truth. Unfortunately, the hardliners are the ones in power at the moment and it's time to change and shift that balance. Action taken by force, most times (NB: not "all the time") is because of the fear and a real threat of losing power.
good notice , but if the thread is not that much important the mod might delete the duplicated on , but Gaza thread is an issue that every arabic , muslim , and human being concerned about . if you could focus on the news u will realize that we are here before a masscare.
maybe some thread will be deleted by mod. when he finde that its right thing to do ...
