Gee, guess you sure told me!
I did, in fact, look at your sources. Not exactly the most unbiased sources
of info on the middle east (yes, even Amnesty International!) in my opinion.
Noam Chomsky?! Oh the pain. But of course I always take as gospel whatever
Ted Koppel says...
Look, I'm not going to argue with you. I've been down this road before. Why
waste my time and the time of the Fluxlist folk? Arguing with people like
you is like trying to argue with a drunk, there's no point. Clearly the
Palestinians (who are technically Jordanian) are nobel victims, innocent
dupes,incapable of wrong doing and the Israelis are the schoolyard bullies
of the Middle East, picking fights without provocation and stealing
everyones lunch money.
Reading the accounts of people you haven't met is not really helpful. I've
known many people (both Israeli AND Arab) who live, work, and survive in
that difficult terrain. They would all find your opinions (and much of your
source material) dubious if not actually laughable.
Here's a fact for you: Jews and Arabs are both Semitic peoples and see the
world somewhat differently then the West. Their values and methods of
communications are organized rather differently then those of Europe et al.
Perhaps the answer is to leave them to it and stop trying to inflict our
Western morals and values on two peoples who probably don't need the
aggravation.
But the real solution, of course, is to air-condition and carpet the entire
region, then watch the tensions melt.
That's my final answer.
