My own belief is that if the Palestinians would stop attacking the Israelis, the Israelis would leave the Palestinians alone. Why won't the Palestinians stop attacking the Israelis?

I'm sure you know enough history about the situation not to ask such a simplistic question.

OK, tit for tat...

The Israelis talk peace while continuing to build settlements. Peace to the Israel government is a stalling technique to continue to colonize more land, build an infratructure to strangle and control the Palestinians.

Barak is a classical example of this. While talking peace, and making offers, he allowed more settlements than any previous PM. It is all window-dressing for the suckers who believe it.

Who believes what they say?

<Why won't the Palestinians stop attacking the Israelis?>

CB, that's easy! For the same reason that the IRA keeps doing things like the Omagh bombing - they are freedom fighters, imbued with superstitious mania and, peace be upon him, [but preferably me], God is on their side.

With superstitious maniacal zionist zealots trying to recreate a fantasy world from 2000 years ago, having discussions with Palestinian refugees ethnically-cleansed to concentration camps, it's not surprising that the Jews got a bunch of Palestinian prisoners in Lebanon, then turn some murderous Christians loose to do some Srebenica-style mass murder [Christians being loving, foregiving, human universality types]

We need a final solution so we can all live in peace, light and harmony.

Imagine no religion...nothing to kill or die for...imagine all the people, sharing all the world...you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

I can understand that a lot of Palestinians have decided that it's better to blow themselves up and take a bunch of Jews/Americans with them - it sure does get attention. When things get desperate, you do what you can to get the other side to give in. The USA nuked Hiroshima, which involved a lot of innocent people - that's the nature of desperation. It becomes atavistic tribal genocidal conflict - it goes back for millions of years.

Simple really. Anything else you want to know, I'll be happy to oblige.
