Well, so you wish to turn the thread into a food fight! Not a good way to go, Nadine. We've got a good thing going with this thread but it's terribly vulnerable. Easy to destroy, hard to create. So consider toning it down a notch or two Sorry, sorry. Emotions run high all around. However, I still think the "desperation arising out of structurual inequities" argument is how shall I say, unsound. Lots of people in the world are occupied and suffering a lot worse than the Palestinians, with far fewer champions or political hopes. They are not blowing up random enemy civilians. There is potent and incendiary ideology at work here that has caused the Palestinians to suicide-bomb their own cause. They are people with human rights, but I can't wish any concessions to them as long as they continue to embrace Islamic nihilism as their main form of expression. Such concessions would not increase their human rights, only the amount of havoc their terrorist leaders can wreak.
