Oh, by the way, how do you feel about Jewish settlments in the West Bank and Gaza?

Z, speaking of which, P. Jennings was on Larry King tonite. Apparently, he lived in Israel for quite some time. One issue he brought up is how difficult it is to speak in this country about the conflict over there. He said that what was even more perilous to your health was to bring up the notion that the Palestinians have some reason for complaint....apparently, he has been accused from time to time of being pro Arafat. In reality, he said he thinks Arafat needs to go; that he's lost quite a while ago any advantage he once had in promoting the goals of the Palestinian people.

An interesting point he brought up was that two years ago at Camp David, Arafat was ready to sign the peace agreement but then something stopped him. I missed what that something was because at that point, someone interrupted me [I was at the gym] and I missed what he said [it was closed captioning]. Do you know what might have prevented Arafat from signing?

Re <<You know that that's not what I'm saying.>>

Not trying to piss you off, but that is exactly what you said. Nothing excuses racism, specially when it is so blatant.

Re <<Oh, by the way, how do you feel about Jewish settlments in the West Bank and Gaza?>>

Not sure.

One thing that I am sure about is absolutely no more settlements. NO MORE!!!. If Israel wants to accept all Jewish immigrants unconditionally, it needs to find a way to live more densely. There should be no more expansion. Israel has continued to accept immigration and in order to accommodate them just bulldozed a few Palestinians houses and kick them out. And of course some people just believe in expansion of Israel at all cost. This must stop.
