I would have to agree that the Palistenians are not acting in their best interest by continuing their bombing campaign.
It seemed like progress was being made at some kind of peace.
At the same time I wonder why these people are so desparate and why they are taking on extreme and desparate means to fight the Israelis.
What does it take to drive people commit acts of atrosity and suicide.
Have they lived with oppression, poverty, and death for so long that to each and every sole, it is a fight for mere existence?
Are they evil?
Do they do this just just kill people - like Americans do when they take AK-47s into school yards?
Why are Palistenians exhiled from the lands they lived on for over 2000 years?
Replaced by European Jews, because the UN in 1948 established a Jewish homeland. Did they have any vote in this?
I wonder if the American Indians can relate to their plight?
Palistenians have been given the worse land, the worse aquifers, the worse of everything in that region.
Their homes are bulldozed with out due process.
Their people are put into Israeli jails with out formal charges, with out due process, their jobs and lives are destroyed by the Israelis.
What lands the Palistenians do have, the Israelis have illegally take with their west bank settlements. What's with that?
Land, money, greed.
Why hasn't the UN stepped in between the two, like it has in many other places in the world. [Because the US and Israel don't want them too... then Israel would have to stop their opression and stop their illegal activities of stealing land from an impoversed people]
Don't get me wrong both sides are quilty of atrocious crimes. There's no justification for either one them. There will only be peace with both sides deside to stop the violence. Israel has done this several times - and so have the Palitenians... and they have both, broken the peace.
However, I think Israel is more in the wrong than the Palitenians, because they have the might, and they have the ability, to stop their own provocations (the west settlements!), but they don't because they know this provokes the Palitenians to set off bombs... and thus makes the Palitenians look like terrorists.
What I find interesting is that Sharon was brought up on war crimes in the Hague last year for his role in authorizing the masacre of 800 women and children whild Israel invaded Lebanon back in 1983. The charges were quietly dismissed.
The UN really should go in their and build a brick wall between the two, kick the Israels out of the west bank, and hunt down the Hamas and all the other radical terrorist groups, and hold Israel accountable for bull dozing houses and jailing people with out due process.
That's my road map to peace.
