re: #705 albusteve

The simple fact is that Israel chose to end this cycle of hate when it signed the Oslo accord. A society shattering act which still resonates in every Israeli consciousness, never mind if he agrees or not.
Now, Israel is out of Gaza after yet another society shattering action.
Hamas, taking the rain by force (and please reply it was democratic elections…) is IN FACT responsible for what’s going on in there.
There are billions of dollars in aid going in there. Ever since Rabin shook Arafat’s hand it’s been flowing like crazy. If that money was channeled to Africa or Haiti, it would have been much better utilized and definitely not for terror.
Those who place blame or responsibility equally on both sides, simply perpetuate the situation.
