Akela ,   jerusalem   (05.30.06)
Back to pre-67 borders. It's not about Israeli concessions - it's about Israeli obligations visavi the Palestinian people. Israel stole its lands, natural resources, dispersed the people, refusing them still to return, forcing them to live in open-air prisons, humiliating them and stripping them of both rights and dignity. A quiet ethnic cleansing is taking place in Jerusalem - to keep the "demographic" problem in check. Imagine the same rethoric in any other democracy - as Israel claims to be. Such a thing would not stand unchallenged - but Israel, for some reason, stands above law, moral and ethics - and that with the blessing of the WEstern democracies. Your lack of insight is what is embarrassing.

Arabs chose war. Arabs suffer the consequences. We don't need to join you in your suffering for choosing war and murdering our people because you were too greedy and too stupid to accept a state in 1948. Besides, it is not citizenship or a nation that you want, but a reactionary vision that would erase Israel from the map. Why should your people who have attacked Jews since the 1880's, instead of negotiating with Jews, be deserving of the victor's consideration at all? There would be no issue today, if you were willing to share the land. Tell me, if the combined Arab states had won the wars, would they have benevolently pulled back so Jews could build their own state? No one is that dumb. Face the music. You attacked. You lost. Now you must learn how to play with others. Start by speaking out against the vermin who lead your people. Learn how to open your mouths and condemn terrorism. Cure yourselves from the poison that infects your people who, at last count, are currently engaged in over 25 conflicts all around the world. Evolve already, it's been 1400 years.
