I don't blame everything on Israel, quite the contrary in fact.

I'd like to see peace come to the region but don't see either Israel or the Palestinians (and those backing them) making it happen - not with popular opinion as it is and the current leadership although who knows - maybe the death of Arafat will be a symbolic turning point, but I have little hope.

The hard-line on both sides has for too long held control. After all, it was a Jewish fundamentalist-extremist, Yigal Amir, that killed Rabin, not an Arab or Muslim. It was Muslim fundamentalist-extremists that killed Sadat.

And so it goes...

I can't help it that you are only able to see one side, I'm simply trying to see both sides.
