some of the views here are very poorly informed of the situation.
Adelcrow for example points out that we just shoot random at anyone or anything.
Does he know what we can not return fire or make any move without express approval and authority to respond from central command in Tel Aviv?
No of course he doesnt.
Does he know that on the Sinai border that the information we receive on incursions into the territory and suspected attack come from the Egyptian Army?
That we talk everyday to Egypt border patrol and exchange trespassers?
No of course not, he assumes there is no cooperation.
Does he know that it is Jordan which will not permit the Palestinians to go past the camps they stay?
They are kept in the camps by Jordan (which has always claimed the West Bank for Jordan) so it can use as a political weapon?
No he doesnt know any of this.
Instead just anti-Jew, anti-Israel comments which is easy to make.
my contacts in some of the arab states were fairly scathing of the palestinians and the jews avram. they certainly didnt have any great love for the palestinians.
i hear romney was caught saying he has no intention of trying to find a solution and intends to just kick the can down the road for 4 years if he wins.
i thinkm any solution will have to be a grassroots solution. i'm serious when i say it should be policy that all kids in both sides should have to have a pen pal on the other side and also be facebook friends with kids from the other side. only in this way can progress be made. the adults would be too set in their ways.
is the wall progressing and if so is it just the fight over some disputed land and access to religious sites that are sticking points. if so, this should eventually be solvable.
what probelms do you see.??
