And the Israeli restaurants that I went to in Sherman Oaks, CA were not Israeli but Mexican. Have you ever seen so many varieties of burrito? I like the Pastrami ones myself. TP

"and you admitted that Netanyahu reneged" Israeli leaders come and go with practically each election, unlike PA leaders. Netanyahu made for a difficult negotiator, but Barak was more conciliatory and was in power in spring of 1999 ahead of PA terror tactics wich began in earnest in late 2000. Perhaps, Netanyahu was a "realist" and was not fooled by the PA's lack of effort in meeting certain conditions set out by Oslo. Barak was willing to let PA lapses go in an effort to come to some peaceful resolution. For all your griping about Netanyahu, he wasn't around when Clinton and Barak were trying to negotiate a resolution with Arafat. What they had on table was unprecedented and will likely never be offered again. If the PA was truly interested in finding a peace with Israel they would have jumped at the 2000 deal. It makes no sense to say that the Clinton/Barak bid for peace was scuttled by a previous Israeli Prime Minister. "I am hardly defending terrorism" Come on, sure you are. You say abhorrent behavior is understandable considering the situation Israelis put Palestinians in. My own family, and others that I know come from war torn and oppressed conditions, but even at the worst of times, things the Palestinian terrorists do, ie blowing the brains out children in car seats, using mentally disabled people as bombs or exploding bombs in cafes, would have been unthinkable. "I don't say that violence is justifiable.......I am saying its inevitable given Israel's posture." You do argue for its justification, because what Israel had done up to 2000, for all its faults with coming to terms with Oslo did not justify PA terror. Besides, both sides solemnly agreed to forego the use of terror and the military to achieve their ends. It was the PA that walked from the table, not Israel. It was Israel that was abiding to a large with Oslo. Whereas the PA did what? No one who defends the PA's terror tactics seems to know how far along the PA went following the path Oslo set out for both sides to follow. This list for Israel meeting conditions is a long one. And for the PA? You know Israelis, sure you do.
