Bush calls for a Palestinian state

Last Exodus

I guess bakeries are legitimate military targets? NOW do you understand the need for the walls and watch towers? Yes, let's give these guys a State staight away. More land to commit these acts of barbaraism from is a brilliant idea...As if Gaza wasnt enough.

Israeli security forces killed 660 Palestinians in 2006 - three times more than in 2005, according to an Israeli human rights group.

B'Tselem, which monitors human rights in the occupied territories, said the figure included 141 children.

At least 322 had taken no part in hostile acts, the group said.

In the same period, the number of deadly Palestinian attacks on Israelis has fallen - 23 Israelis were killed in 2006 compared with 50 last year.

I dont need to refer to European news agencies for my information. I have a good deal of respect for the BBC. I can post enumerous articles from the BBC that have negative things to say about Hamas. But what's the point really? If you have something to say, say it yourself.

huh? you said israel left the gaza strip and west bank...i posted 2 recent articles that proved otherwise...your reply makes little sense

Look man, we dont need to keep beating this to death. I know your side, you know mine. Im not denying Israel has been over the top. They have. But on the other hand, since you presumably aren't Jewish, you can't possibly understand the Israeli mindset. Nor can I.

There's not a ton of option for Israel in this conflict:

1. Recognize a Palestinian state

OR

2. Kill all Palestinians

Unfortunatly, right now they both seem to think that the second option is the best...

As did Egypt and Lebanon and the Gulf States. Truth be told, the arabs cant get it together amongst themselves. Their internal wars have been going on for centuries. The reality is you can't put borders in areas that have been tribal areas for centuries and expect it to work. This is the problem in the Middle East and in Africa. The Euro powers drew lines because they like to draw lines and do things like plant flags. Ever seen any of Eddie Izzard's stand up on flags? Funny shit. It's true! Ths stuff we are seeing in Gaza and Iraq has been going on long before the US of A got there.

In fact Bagdhad was the centre of culture, arts and exploration of the world over 1000 years AD. In truth the Middle East is far from the decrepid war ravaged land you betray it as.
