Thankyou bruteforce for displaying truely amazing feats of myopic and lack of knowledge. Even if it were possible to hold peaceful protests without intervention of Isreal, Isreal then has absoltuely no motivation to offer any concessions. On otp of that, thats a bit liek trying to clam a bee's nest while hitting it with a baseball bat, which is what isreal is doing, thn wondering why the get bitten.
Let me elaborate a little, make myself seem a tad more balanced, I'm sure most of us at least are aware than the shit should be evenly spread, no one is without blame, my outburst was more based around Israel痴 currant smoke-and-mirrors excuse for all out war than the history of the conflict.
Since the Yom Kippur war(yes, probably wrong spelling, I知 sure you know what I知 talking about), Syria, Jordan, Egypt et al have had no other outlet for their hatred of Israel than the Palestinians, provisions of hardware, money, support are not exactly unknown, the poor Palestinians are pawns on both sides.
A Palestinian state...*sighs* No one, wants a Palestinian state except the Palestinians, namely because parts of Jordan, Syria and other are actually what should be Palestine historically as much as the west back and Gaza strip are. Obviously these nations are not willing to give it, who would? But they expect Israel to. Of course those territories existed long before 1948, and 1967, but the fact remains.
Dham, I知 well aware of the history, I知 probably going to be studying it in very, very though depth in a couple of months, I知 already well aware of the long, long history on both sides. Yes militant do hang out in camps, because that is where some of the poorest and most dispossessed live, what you expect. As for ghandi, that required far more people, a special circumstances (weakening colonial government for example, and not being shot en-mass while demonstrating helps too). Civilians are not nice things to target, but still, I can understand why, they need to scare the shit out of Israel in their eyes before they will get anywhere, its probably true.
As for the US, the UN if you hadn稚 noticed can pass as many fucking motions, memorandums, statements and memos as it wants, its still only as powerful as its member states will let it be. The US now has good motivation tell Israel to get its shit together, but I知 not holding out for a magical UN army of fairies waving their wands solving the problem. International bodies get weaker the more member states they have, the UN has 190.
Personally I say demolish Jerusalem, abolish religion, and the world would be a far happier place =)
