My answer is proper. You are just too deep in the kool aid to see it. You just don't see that if you keep doing what you have been doing, then you should not expect any different results than what you've been getting. You can't solve your problems with the same mindset that got you into it in the first place. The above should be trivially obvious to everyone, but you just can't divorce yourself from the same mindset that got you into it. And so long as that mindset doesn't change, Israel and pals will be at each others throat...like I said, may be the Pals will remain in diaspora another thousand years or two. During which time Israel will experience exceedingly difficult life (after all, the Arabs did not start with suicide bombing). May be after a hundred years or so, the world will be fed up with this and decide not to have anything to do with it and leave Israel and its problems to itself...and then eventually after a lot of blood and gold has been lost, then perhaps someone in Israel will see the light, state the obvious, and be heralded as a revolutionary who brought peace to the land. Sooner or later, you guys will see the light. If not you, then your grandchildren. ST

sdgla, The bottom line is the pals are not going anywhere and the jews have made the point THEY certainly aren't. It seems like you're resigned to the fact that the only solution for Israel is to keep the status quo.......this is a self destructive strategy and time will prove this out. The current situation is proof enough given the last 40 plus years of turmoil. There's two sides to every story but you fail to show any empathy whatsoever for the "splodeydopes" plight. There's a reason these people have resorted to suicide bombings and it's not because they're "splodeydopes" or A-rabs.....it's because they're a desperate, uprooted people in a struggle for their own homeland and national identity (sound familiar?!?). That's not condoning their action.....I'm trying to figure out WHY this is happening. Taking a stance like you are of using their retaliation techniques as further justification to maintain or worsen the issue is entirely destructive and worsens the cycle of violence. As an outsider from the US looking in.......I'm tired of this country being handcuffed and dragged into this mess both financially and politically. It's hurting our national security and besides Israel has enough armament to protect itself....hell, they've got enough nukes to blow us all to smithereens. I'm going out on a limb here but I'm guessing that I'm expressing the opinion of the vast majority of Americans. TS

You fail to respond to my post ROFLMAO, ROFLMAO. You can't even answer two simple questions, Simpleton. Where do your loyalties lie, Israel or America? Are you willing to sacrifice American lives for Israel?
