re: #192 Dark_Falcon

For the bolded part, we have another fantasy creature:
The Magical Balance Fairy. She uses the sweet mist of Hopeychange to mask the Jewish pleas for peace and sharing going back to the 1920s and the violent rejection of these by the Arabs. She makes it seem like both sides are to blame, when in fact blame is concentrated overwhelmingly on the Arab side of the scale.

I didn’t see where elbruce said or implied anything like that, DF.

My take on this is that there won’t be any resolution of this conflict based on forcing one side or the other to accept the blame for all that has happened in the past.

Maybe we’ll one day see a popular peace movement composed of people from both sides who are just sick of the violence become big enough to convince the terrorists and warmongers that it’s time to give up their ‘struggle’, as happened in Northern Ireland. That might seem a long way away right now, but remember that people used to think that peace in NI was an impossibility, for similar reasons.
