During the first intifada in Palestine one Zionist in the IDF discovered many of the Arabs he was arresting had no interest in driving the Jews into the sea:
"Hillel Bardin, a confirmed Zionist, was a reservist in the Israeli army during the first intifada when he met Palestinians arrested by his unit.
"He learned that they supported peace with Israel and the then-taboo proposal for a two-state solution. Bardin began to organize dialogues between Arabs and Israelis in West Bank villages, towns, and refugee camps.
Can you guess how Bardin's superiors responded to dialogues between Jew and Arab?
"In 1988, he was jailed for meeting with Palestinians while on active duty in Ramallah.
"Over the next two decades, he participated in a variety of peace organizations and actions, from arranging for Israelis to visit Palestinian communities and homes, to the joint jogging group 'Runners for Peace,' to marches, political organizing, and demonstrations supporting peace, security, and freedom.

Bardin found no shortage of partners for peace.
That makes me wonder how hard Bibi is looking.
