re: #796 Aceofwhat?

it doesn’t make sense when your explanation of “act” has repeatedly been synonymous with groveling surrender and flight.

so, in that respect, no. it doesn’t make sense.

on the other hand, i could take your post and add a paragraph explaining that “act” means (insert list of actions that Israel is currently taking) and i’d be ecstatic to admit that you’ve made a rare bit of sense…

How the fuck are you going to convince an entire group of Palestinians to stop fighting you at bayonet point? Anything short of invading Gaza is considered Israeli “surrender” to you. They are called negotiations because they involve negotiating. Oftentimes that requires a quid-pro-quo.

By your metric, 48% of Israel wants to “surrender” to the Palestinians because they support the cease-fire and a return to negotiations.
