Liberated South Africa? You're straying from the topic: a separate Palestinian state or not, Horus? On 22% of Palestine or not? With East Jerusalem or not? Your list of unanswered questions is mounting. You still haven't pointed out the difference between maintaining the Jewish character of a state as opposed to maintaning the Aryan/white/black character of a state or justified by the standards of international law your heroes' hanging on to the Golan Heights. It's all too difficult, isn't it. I don't know how you can live with this degree of cognitive dissonance.

Strewth,
Now Israel has already taken the first bold step. It has withdrawn from Gaza.
But what was the result; the militants moved in and used it as a staging zone for more mortar barrages & rocket attacks on Israeli civilians. [Doesn’t instill much goodwill!]

David -Just taking a step back.
I actually have some friends who are Iraqi Assyrians.
They have often told me about the discrimination they suffer in Iraq.
And as you indicated, it’s not something that started and ended with Saddam
It’s been their plight ever since Arab colonization.

Cut the crap and answer the questions.

Strewth,
The only thing with crap on it here is your line of thinking.

How is anyone going to sell the proposition to Israel that they should withdraw completely & unconditionally in the face of:
1) Daily rocket, mortar & sniper attacks on civilians.
2) Periodic suicide attacks in crowded public places.
3) A rabid vilifying Arab media
4) And a history which includes the hijacking of ships, planes & the Olympics to murder Israeli nationals, and the 1967 surprise attack, the yom Kippur 1973 surprise attack.
Get real!

Are you sure your name isn't Anthony Loewenstein?

Horus, Your lack of sincerity only increases with your increasingly irrelevant posts. Since when does the notion of ending an occupation have to be SOLD to an occupying power? Ending Saddam's occupation of Kuwait didn't have to have his consent. Nor did Hitler have to be reasoned with first to get him out of France. Your constant failure to recognise that occupation, ie state-sponsored terrorism, breeds resistance and hate, and your distortions and misrepresentations of the historical record, only serve to ensure that the agony in Israel/Palestine goes on and on. You've shown that you have no answers to my questions, Horus, only tactical evasions. Antony Loewenstein? Are you sure your name isn't Boaz-David?

Strewth,
No negotiations.
No concessions.
I'm stumped!
Tell me -how would you solve this problem -how would you make Israel comply, in Cloud-Cuckoo-Land?
