Did I glean correctly from some of your posts that you live in the U.K.? If so, I'm sure that you've at least gotten some idea, from this and other forums, how deeply ingrained and virulent is the pro-Israeli prejudice alive in the U.S. There is literally no way to break through it with logic or appeals to reason...or to attempt to do so without being immediately branded an anti-Semite, of course.
I'm afraid that the combination of widespread christian fundamentalist premillenialism, in which the state of Israel continues to hold a 'special place in God's plan', and the fact that a large percentage of Jewish Israelis are of European descent (White), there is only one politically correct view, in America, for one to take.

Ok, just so we're clear on this. I'm an egalitarian agnostic non-theist. My motivation for my feelings on this are pretty straight-forward.I'm tired of hearing about it, I'm tired of reading about it, I'm tired of seeing it on the news.
My plan for resolving the problem is to issue 1/2 pound blocks of Semtex or C4, their choice, to any adult, of either country, ambulatory enough to make it to the dispensing station. Each unit will be pre-built with a casing, shrapnel, and a timer that will last no more than five minutes once activated. Once your half pound has been proven to have been used then you can come back for another one. Any instances of use against anyone other than another country participating in the program will result in a much larger bomb being dropped somewhere randomly in a populated area, thus robbing those people of the chance to get to heaven on their terms.
You can't get much more fair than that.
