I can appreciate your POV, although I do not entirely agree with it. IMO, It takes 2 to Tango. until then, aint nothing gonna happen.

BTW : The Gandhian scenario is not relevent here. neither is it relevent in the Kashmir dispute. Its not a cookie-cutter approach.

In short, as a political entity, the Palestinians are morons.

There's an old Russian proverb : a fish always rots starting with the head.

If they didn't have the good fortune of having Jews for their enemies they would have been crushed and forgotten long ago.

The sad fact is that this is nearly completely true, for if it had been a matter of expelling the British from the region, they could have succeeded just as Ghandi succeeded in India. For the British, their colonial empire was not really an existential question, in addition to the fact that Great Britain was and is a democratic country.

Maybe some of these self righteous individuals who care so much about the oppressed should consider devoting some "commensurate" time to people who really need help in this world, starting with Africans. But Jews and the USA can't be blamed for sub Saharan Africa......
