Nadine - Allow me to respectfully point out that your argument is fallacious.
>>PALESTINIANS ARE FIGHTING A WAR OF LIBERATION<<
This is true, but it is deceptive to argue that they only want to "liberate" the West Bank and Gaza. They want to "liberate" Israel, too. This is what Hamas, Hezbollah, et al, want.
Sooner or later, you need to make a distinction between the general populace in the region widely known as "Palestine" ("Palestinians", hereafter) and the extremist religious groups (Hamas, etc).
Palestinians want what any nation wants - to live in reasonable happiness. To this end, they would be content to see the end of occupation, and once they feel there lies a future they can look forward to, where they can provide for their children and see them grow without daily humiliation.
Hamas et al are extremist groups who want more and probably will insist in any case that Israel be destroyed.
These are two different entities. They are allied right now, because Sharon's policies of occupation are making them unite against the common enemy standing between them and their goals.
If they want peace, then they have to stop Hamas and Hezbollah from waging war.
You are very wrong. This is not how politics work. Groups of people just don't stop supporting extremist groups. It is up to the states fighting those extremist groups to alienate the general populace from the extremists.
This is precisely whatSir FD, myself, and some others on this board have repeately said. Make the dreams of the average Palestinian come true and he will no longer be allied with Hamas et al against the state of Israel. He will be too busy living. |
