spiroth10,
If you're to that point, terrorizing the populace is simply engaging in terrorism yourself; perhaps you should rethink your whole strategy at that point. If anything, a forced expulsion from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip of the Palestinians seems more humane than this. |

and they were so GOd damn close to what looked like a decent peace too man. I felt bad, when i heard that the dude got kidnapped. it was like some movie plot, where a small radical faction plans to destabalize the peace process for nefarious ends.....when probably it was just some version of midle east red-necks wanting to lynch someone and it got out of control.......way out of control..... | |||

The radical factions opposed to peace thing is kinda, you know, how a peace process works, though. They don't succeed until the moderates and pragmatists are strong and confident and supported enough that the process can absorb and move past the actions of the extremists, recalcitrants, hardliners and such.
See also: the Real IRA, Yigal Amir This peace process is like any other, albeit particularly complicated... when it succes, is going to succeed in spite of the words and actions of Israeli and Palestinian hardliners, not merely in the absence of these things. There'll never be a time when peace negotiations can occur completely free of ongoing terrorism and opporession and bad blood. This is fantasy, because if they did, there'd be peace already. The trick, though, is that at various times, support for extreme and militant positions versus moderate ones wax and wane. Circumstances fluctuate over time (in terms of geopolitical climate, electoral politics, the personalities involved, public opinion, and so forth), and it's probably going to be a while before there's another promising window of opportunity, for a peace process to work like the early 90s or the last days of Ariel Sharon's political career. It's very frustrating. (edited by Arwon on 07-03-06 11:16 AM) |

Israel is a bully, instead of trying to make peace with Palestine and make a deal, they bomb schools? Neitzluber thinks Israel's arrogance derives from too much US support. Time has come to cut off the umbilical cord... |
