Hey man, like I said before. Israel has the power to make peace. The ball is in their court. If they want to keep annexing land, they certainly have the power to do so. The U.S. certainly isn’t going to stop them. But if you think for one second that the Palestinians are going to “learn” anything from Israel taking more and more of the land they feel is theirs, you’re hallucinating.

It’s precisely this paternalistic attitude that I find so shocking. Like the Palestinians are children that Israel needs to “teach” before this problem can be resolved. Each side must take responsibility and compromise if there is ever going to be peace. Right now it looks like Israel will be satisfied with maintaining the status quo, and keeping the Palestinians walled off in some sort of an apartheid quasi-state indefinitely. But if that’s the case, they can expect there to be violence that never ceases.

hey man, like i said before. walls and checkpoints = power to keep bombs and rockets out.

over here in logictown, we usually leave it incumbent on the crazies to quit it with the bombs and rockets first…then the checkpoints become unnecessary.

logictown has no checkpoint, though…you’re welcome to visit anytime!
