There will be no peace until Israel as well as Palestinians want peace.
But at the moment the Israeli state is as little interested in peace as

I saw the TV spot from the Canada-Israel Committee this morning and
found it deeply depressing. Only the most dishonest kind of political
spin can portray Israel as such a poor innocent victim. Here is a nation

Block religious content while browsing the Internet

GodBlock - Protect your children
GodBlock is a web filter that blocks religious content. It is targeted
at parents and schools who wish to protect their kids from the often
violent, sexual, and psychologically harmful material in many holy
texts, and from being indoctrinated into any religion before they are of
the age to make such decisions.
When installed properly, GodBlock will test each page that your child
visits before it is loaded, looking for passages from holy texts, names
of religious figures, and other signs of religious propaganda. If none
are found, then your child is allowed to browse freely.
