Jeroen <<If Israel refuses to cooperate, the claim of a massacre can never be disproven and will live on to be used as evidence that Israel has something to hide (after all, why would they refuse cooperation if they have done nothing wrong).>>
Ilana <SIGH> << I am trying to make it as clear as I can (keeping in mind that you said something along the lines that if somebody will claim your capital city as his you are ready to negotiate) - can you, pls, give me a prove the that your twin sister is not a hooker? Because if you refuse to do so the claim stands and that will, probably, influence your job.>> Jeroen <<Your analogy is flawed. Israel exists, the suspicion of war crimes having been committed in Jenin exists. If those suspicions can not be proven wrong, they will linger on and have a negative effect on Israel. My twin sister however does not exist, and thus the allegations that she is a hooker can by definition not be true. Therefore, even if people keep saying my twin sister is a hooker, it can not influence my job.>> Ilana The suspicion of war crimes having been committed in Jenin exists, the same way that the suspicion of your twin sister being a hooker exist - I claim that I suspect it, the same way some European dignitary, that was not in Jenin, claims that war crimes were committed there. You can tell me - many people claim this - I can answer that I can also find many people to support my claim. Jeroen <<Besides, I live in a liberal country; no employer will care what their employees' relatives do for a living.>> Ilana As far as I remember your employer is not *any* employer. You are employed by government. Having hooker (and, probably, drug addict) sister is making you open to blackmail. I don't think your government will want somebody that can be blackmailed in key position. Ilana
