Big Fish: Send more? Burden the US taxpayer even more? Your agenda is decidedly fishy. No, the solution is simple: end the illegal crime against humanity known as the occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights; dismantle the infrastructure of illegal settlement in the occupied territories; and tear down the Annexation Wall.

Well Strewth, I agree that this can be helped if this happens, But if Israel does that could we expect Palestinians to cease terrorism and other countries not to support terrorism? Hah. Simple fact is that if Israel gave up the areas you mentioned and you think that is going to be the end of it, then you live in la la land. As is stated many times over the destruction of Israel not matter what it consist of is a stated aim of certain groups. So frankly unless a philosophical change in the Middle East occurs then this "injustice" is going to continue. It can happen as shown by Egypt and Israel. Where Israel returned the Sinai. But both sides must be willing. I ask a question (again) why do ME countries support the Palestinians now and not anywhere as much when they were kicked out of Jordan.
And as to the aid from US taxpayers then all aid to Palestinians must stop too. In fact any country. Posted by The Big Fish, Tuesday, 25 April 2006 3:12:06 PM

Big Fish: Fishy fantasy (wearing thin): Palestinians are terrorists hell-bent on the destruction of Israel. Stark reality: Israel has successfully ethnically cleansed the majority of Palestinians, exiled them, stolen their lands and destroyed their homes, and confined and caged the rest in a mere fraction of their former homeland.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Context is everything.

As an insight into the nature of the mindset behind the ‘problem’ may I suggest a quick glance at the following: http://www.globalresearch.ca Posted by Mr.P.Pig, Wednesday, 26 April 2006 9:12:05 PM

Mr P Pig - Thanks , I think?
I know there is some irrational people out there. but what the... And maybe you know better than me I am finding over time that dealing in facts and reason does not work, so how does one debate with that. I suppose I think too plainly. DELIBRATELY targeting civilians is not terrorism to some?!!. And having in the “charter” the destruction of another country is good diplomacy! Oh well I suppose people will be able to convert to another religion with out being considered insane or tried as a criminal?. Maybe that is the mindset. Irrational? As recently stated - it is a clash of reason and the irrational. Enlightenment and the dark ages. Lets hope reason wins? Posted by The Big Fish, Wednesday, 26 April 2006 11:57:07 PM
