The adjective enronic was brilliant, beats out dia-tribe for word of the day even though i like the latter very much as well.

I've solved my personal israeli/palestinio problem - i never comment on it, and only lurk from more than one metre from the screen, and sparingly .... what a zoo ... on some thread months ago i suggested that el ejército mexicano occupy bits of the high land there and make peace through big-bore intimidation, but clearly they were smarter than i, and didn't go ..... there just are no good guys there

Intentional Foul and intentionally fowl. When you want to end a relationship, the best thing to do is to go for the soft underbelly and rip. Gets 'em every time.

huh?

If you'd have checked my profile I do mention that I used to live in that part of the World. Actually, I'm planning to take a trip there next month as well as to Tunisia. Probably changing planes in Rome or somewhere....

While the Palestinian side started the present conflict in the last year and a half the Israelis have intentionally prolonged it and sabotaged any peace efforts. So at this stage I would blame both sides equally. At the same time Sharon is found to be carrying on secret talks with the Palestinians. So who knows what reality is behind the headlines and rhetoric (yeah, we like rhetoric and argument in that part of the world). Israel is to blame for killing a disproportional number of unarmed civilians in both this and the previous intifada when compared to say the British Army's record in Northern Ireland. I could go on and list lots of other criticisms against Israel and against the other side....

Strange how I upset both you and Haim Branisteanu... maybe I do have a balanced view on this...
