well, when many comments are along the line of "the jews should leave Palestine" or "israel is guilty of war crimes", blah, blah, blah, you will not get any type of mature discussion, just the type of mindless posturing we had in the "flotilla" thread.

Any type of lasting peace in the region has as a pre-requisite that Israel's security within its pre-1967 borders be garanteed. Anything less than that is not even worth discussing.
