[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] [QUOTE]And Palestinian ain't exactly the only people that have historic claim to the land, Israelies have just the same, if not more justifiable history for the claim.[/QUOTE] And so when they ask for a peace settlement based on the 1947 UN partition plan (which they had orignally rejected and the Jews supported) the Israelis scream that the viability of the all important Jewish state is threatened and refuse to talk. [QUOTE]History is in the past, while we cannot deny the significance of the past, the present situation is far more important for now and into the future. And the present demands a peaceful co-existence without the squabble about "history claim".[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, history can never be written off an influence on the present. Ever. Anywhere. By anyone. Building government-subsidized settlements in UN-declared occupied territories, filling them to 10% capacity and then moving on and building more, using innocent Jewish people as human boundary demarcators, isn't peaceful coexistence. It's imperialism. Maintaining a supposedly democratic state that extends citizenship rights along religious lines and assasinates its opponents without trial isn't going to lead to peaceful existence, either. [QUOTE]Now, Israelies shows faith in patching up "old wound" with Palestinian by offering a sweet deal to "share" the land and live in peace.[/QUOTE] Yes. The same Israelis that overwhelmingly opposed Barak's peace plan he brought to Camp David in the fall of 2000. The same Israelis that turfed Barak a month or so after the Camp David talks ended without an agreement and replaced him with Sharon by a margin of 3 to 1. [QUOTE]And we all know how do the Palestinian react to that, they unleashed hell in hope to achieve unfair and impossible compremises from the Israelies[/QUOTE] You keep using "the Palestineans" like they're some kind of army. Would it be fair to say that "the Catholics" "unleashed hell" in the Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland? A sizable portion but by no means a majority of young Palestineans protested and threw rocks. A tiny minority of super-Islamic nutbars went around blowing civilians up. And guess what, how about we accept that idea that these super-crazed nutbars in Hamas will most likely still be around even if Israel allows the Palestineans to set up their own state. They're not going to stop fighting because they're a racist bunch or lunatic terrorists. All we can hope for is that in such a situation popular support would fall away from them and they'll atrophy away. Right now they're essentially unbeatable. The Palestinean Authority, on the other hand, is beatable, and that's why Sharon is targetting it. [QUOTE]Well, if it is war Palestinians want, fu*k them, bring it on![/QUOTE] I hear the Pol Pot society executive is taking on new employees. They're an equal-opportunity employer and have a good pension plan. Might I suggest you direct yourself and your boneheaded disregard for the primacy of peace to their offices? [/QB][/QUOTE]
