I seriously think many needs to stop seing themselves as victims and concentrate on the situation at hand today.
Don't kid yourself though, Israel would eradicate Palestine if it had a chance to get away with it, but they know that it would mean the end of Israel.
At times it IS bloody murder, call it what it is and critizise it hard, change and peace can never come as long as you are forgiving one side while blaming the other. Give the settlements back, if they want a wall, it has to be on Israeli land, nowhere else, now THAT is a deal that a Palestinian leader could present and get support for.
When the Isrelis are keeping their land, removing their homes, building a wall on land that is not theirs and keep bombing and shooting in civilian areas and against unarmed people the Palestinians will have no will to do anything but to retaliate in the ONLY way they can and some people think that Israel should NEVER be critizised for doing anything and are quick to shoult anti-semite and remind people about the holocaust.
I didnt bring it up... someone else brought up the numbers to indicate the Israelis were the "bad guys".
I do call it what it is... it's war, plain, ugly, and nasty... People are dying, I'm rooting for the Israelis whats the confusion here?...
Nice that you want the wall to be on Israeli territory... sounds great... is it doable? Absolutely not. Give the settlements back... sure easily done... after all Israel isn't a democracy, and therefore can skip all political complications and do whatever they want! No problem... :disgust:
You're out of touch... it's easy to sit back and play armchair politician, and point fingers and say Israel should do this, and Israel should do that... but the fact of the matter is, there are complex realities going on here that transcend "good guy versus bad guy"... everyone has an opinion, and everyone has some power.
When has a Palestinian leader ever offered a plan that was even remotely possible?... The only one I've ever heard is Sari Nusseiba(sp?) and the man has less power than the UN armed forces...
Every other peace offer includes the insidious "right of return" which actually translates to "right to destroy israel by population"
