Being ideological rather than pragmatic is more than half the problem for Palestine’s Israelis.

There fixed that.

What can you do with those recalcitrant 'Palestinians'? So ideologically committed to their homeland, their families, their heritage-such fanatics.

If the Arabs of Eastern-Jerusalem, currently with permanent-resident status, would have exercised their entitlement to become Israeli citizens and vote, then by now they could have tipped the election-results and instead of Netanyahu, Israel would have had a peace-government that would give them independence.

It seems that despite the garbage in the streets, bumpy roads and open sewers, they prefer Israel's rule over the corrupt Palestinian Authority or the Islamic-fanatic Hamas.

Ah another Singer clone singing the same song one settler lover on here is enough,you should apply to the Israeli propaganda ministry mate I,m sure they will welcome you with open arms.
You never know they might pay you as well,do you think you might throw rocks at an occupying force and the people it send in to view the occupied

"do you think you might throw rocks at an occupying force and the people it send in to view the occupied"

Wow Daniel, these are serious allegations leveled against you by John Ryan.

Is it true that you and your fellow Australian students were in fact:
1. sent there by the occupying force?
and that
2. the purpose of your trip was to view the occupied?

Be honest about it - we need a full inquiry about who initiated that bus-trip of yours into occupied East-Jerusalem and for what purpose.

(who knows how evil the roots of this story are, we may end up discovering that the real purpose of taking this bus-trip instead of walking, was to viciously pollute the atmosphere with CO2 emissions)
