re: #290 drcordell

You’re completely misrepresenting my position. Acknowledging that the “ball is in Israel’s court” when it comes to the peace process does not mean that “if Israel would do better the mess would melt away.” It simply means that for the peace process to succeed, Israel must take the initiative, because they are the dominant power. I hardly think that this is some sort of radical position. It is the reality of the situation.

Such caca, to quote Ionesco.

The ball was in Israel’s court when they were challenged to give up the settlements in Gaza, which they did, using brute force against their own people to make a concession to the “Palestinians” and the world. They uprooted people from their homes and businesses, and gave the infrastructure intact to the Gazans. They shot that ball right over to the other side.

What was lobbed back? Rockets on Sderot.

How many times does Israel have to toss a ball to the other side before the other side actually starts playing the same game?
