The problem with these posts of yours, Nadine, is that you see only the Israelis as the aggrieved party. The Palestinians barely appear in your posts, save as suicide bombers or as a mass of anti-semitism. Yet, there is little doubt that more Palestinians have died since this last intifada began than Israelis. And a great many of those deaths, impossible to know just how many, were civilians. And many of those deaths were because the Sharon government is using weapons well beyond those commensurate with either the attacks on Israel or with the danger. And those tactics are simply embedding hatred ever deeper.

It seems to me that the extremists on both sides run the agenda these days. And folk who wish to move things in a peaceful direction are simply no longer players.
