The Jewish people are pained by your suffering. We do not wish to see you suffer and we realize that we play a large role in your suffering. The other major role is played by you and your leaders and your unwillingness to truly accept Israel and live in peace with us as neighbors. The current conflict is resulting in both of our peoples losing some of their humanity.
We are both resilient peoples and we fear that if you continue to pursue our destruction than you will surely be doomed to the same fate. Your leaders have terribly mis-managed your affairs and you are in danger of another nakba if they do not change course. We know that there are some Jews who are obnoxious to you, but the vast majority of Jews wish to be your neighbors and can't wait to transfer ownership of most of the settlements to you and to get out of your hair. You must understand however, that this can only occur by way of peaceful negotiations. As long as you attack our people in an effort to achieve your goals by force, we must respond to you with exponentially greater force. You cannot win in this way. No amount of international pressure will force the Israelis to make decisions that put their safety in jeopardy.
You are responsible for choosing your own leaders, but we pray that you will make wise decisions. Select men and women of true courage who have integrity. If you seek the leadership of scoundrels you destroy the possibility of real genuine negotiations. Please choose carefully and wisely.
We hope to see you as close friends and neighbors in the future.
Shalom.
The Jewish People (well, at least many of us)
