I grew up in Wales, MH. Clue in sig. I apologize for not adding 'IMHO' to my statement that you quoted - this is simply how it appears to me. Can you show me different? Kazuaki made a good point about our nations being at least partially responsible in some way for the current situation, regarding their post WWII actions relocating displaced Jews to land that already had an indigenous population including Islamic and Jewish peoples alike, who at that time existed in reasonable harmony with each other. Can you argue against this?

Can you address any of the other points in my post? or are you going to resort to simple insults like 'where did you grow up, Syria?' I bet you grew up in Israel, am I right? Should I assume that because of that your opinions are invalid? (or at the very least, pro-Israeli biased) If I had grown up in Syria, why would my opinions or feelings be any less valid? Yes I live a world away and maybe I don't understand the convoluted intricacies of the situation as well as I might, but I can remain objective. It makes no difference to me if Israel decides to openly declare war and take all the land of Palestine for its own, or if the Arab nations gang up again and destroy the state of Israel. The fact remains, that Israel is breaking laws of the Geneva convention almost daily, and is subjecting the Palestinians in the contested areas to what amounts to slow genocide, economic and physical, and is very comparable to the nazis treatment of the Jews in Germany. The objective is IMHO to make life so unbearable for the Palestinian Arabs that they will leave voluntarily, thus ending the contention by default, at which point Israel can simply claim the land as they have already settled upon it, while avoiding the obvious backlash that would occur if war were declared openly. It is because I have access to all the information as you put it that has led me to this conclusion. I invite you again to show me different.
