In the Congo you can get away with hacking the arms off children and eating them, who needs a bomb? When you can get up close and personal with terror, bombs aren't really necessary. And a machete is a lot cheaper than bomb materials.

And I wish the cannibalism was hyperbole- but I fear it is not:

Change the subject Nadine, if you want to imply that there is hope in Palestine then do so directly. As to Bali you are indirectly making a connection to Al-Qaeda which is not the same as the hopelessness in Palestine. If you want to couple Al-Qaeda to Palestine that's your problem and your job to prove such a connection.

Palestine is about Israel making life intolerable for the Palestinians via the wall, the settlements, and its intransigence.

An example of this intransigence is seen in this article:

"In his offer to the Palestinians, Barak wanted more:

69 settlements are included in this area,
where 85% of the settlers live.
It is clearly visible that The blocs create impossible borders,
which severely disrupt Palestinian life in the West Bank...."

The pictures in the article show the problem.
