not in tel aviv. tel aviv is living a very peaceful, secure life. to expect this society to stand , what to say no more incentive? balance is that israelis have been gaining out of the occupation or not paying anything for it, as long as any israeli does not feel that he, that the occupation is something he should be think about, why should he be bothered? he is not paid, punished. he does not make the linkage. even if they remember the years, which were really bloody with exploding buses and suicide bombers, nobody made the linkage to the occupation. if you dare to make the linkage, you will be mediately deemed as a traitor. how dare you, you justify terror. they were born to kill. it has nothing to do with the occupation. change,s no progress or even after the violence. if life is so good, there is really no reason to go for a change, and therefore, the hope for change from within the israeli society is very minimal. with all respect to those groups who are fighting, who are not giving up, who are going to demonstrate every friday against the occu
