OK, let's see if I understand your point - you think that Palestinian parents could make their sons stop throwing rocks if they really wanted to.
What I am not getting is how this affects the peace process.

Parenthetically, I don't think that wearing wigs compares to getting murdered. I also don't think being murdered is the every day experience of Islamic women. And I really don't have the knowledge, nor the interest, in debating the issue with you. I don't know very much about what it means to be an Islamic woman or a traditional Jewish woman. I think it's arrogant to think you do. You can judge that being raped or murdered isn't something that the women volunteer for, but how can you judge what it means to be an Islamic woman?
And the answer is, no, I am not going to answer the questions you pose to me. I am a volitional individual, not some robot puppet. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear. There aren't any rules here, this is free discourse.
The comparison wasn't meant to be a parallel, it was meant to show that both sides have cultural differences we don't understand, or at least, I don't. But the cultural differences don't seem to have any relevance to the peace process. Not that cultural differences don't have relevance but not the ones you mentioned or the ones I mentioned.
I am trying to think how it works in my mind - it's not tit for tat, which I think is the way you see my argument. It's more like, you opened a room, and I opened another room. |
