re: #20 Bob Levin

It is slowly getting better. Improving economics and exposure to a greater diversity of people and opinions certainly helps. I think it would help in palestine as well. But without eliminating the underlying indoctrination problem, progress will be slow in either case.

That’s the fundamental problem there, IMO. I don’t exactly agree with everything Israel has done. But as long as palestinians are feeding their children (and each other, for that matter) such sick propaganda, discussing anything Israel does or doesn’t do is absolutely pointless and futile.
