    I think we know enough to suspect his parents would have hated him too.

    Neither side wants a peace deal, they only pretend they do to keep the Americans happy. "Wars end when one side is ready to admit defeat," and neither side is ready to do that: the Israelis because they are winning the war, and the Arabs out of pride and folly. Neither is willing to make the concessions which would be necessary to achieve a settlement. Israel won't give up Judaea and Samaria, and the Arabs won't accept the legitimacy of Israel. The present situation has dragged on for 50 years, it can no doubt drag on for another 50, by which the time the Israeli re-settlement of Judaea and Samaria will be complete. The Arabs have only themselves to blame IMHO. You may disagree :)

    It's funny how you won't call the Palestinians. And by funny I mean I can hear your dogwhistling. :)

    no it's just distinguishing the Jewish State from the Arab-Islamic World. Vivec, like most western intellectuals, doesn't desire the physical and violent destruction of Israel and the murder or expulsion of its Jewish population and would daresay welcome any settlement if it was acceptable to the Islamic World/Palestinians. But as i said the Palestinians won't accept the legitimacy of Israel and the loss of Jerusalem.

    The vast majority of Palestinians, as well as Arabs, are secular and recognise the State of Israel. Might want to brush up on the regional politics and history before becoming the JCC resident Middle East expert.

    I read this first, and I automatically knew who you were referring to.
    The what?

    You know, you were right up until that point. If you'd continued

    Then I would even agree.

    But you had to continue by referring to Palestine by Biblical names and by equating the Palestinian people (all of them, women and children too) with Hamas.
    Nice going.
    Merry Christmas.

    I seem to recall Abbas saying he would give up the right of return and recognize Israel. So the Palestinians (albeit grudgingly) have done what's necessary on their end for peace. The Israelis...haven't.

    But Abbas is hemmed in by fanatics who will kill him if he makes moves to stop the attempts at suicide bombings and knifing. Super "blood clot" Watto knows very well i was referring to the Palestinian leadership.

    Mind you he also ignores evidence of past Israeli Arab involvement in left-wing Israeli governments and parliaments because it would discredit the "apartheid" notion.

    (emphasis mine)

    It's not new, what's new is the US backed it but beyond that, nope. Yet the man supposedly leading Israel goes off over it across the board.

    And yet he was able to make those comments on the right of return...and he's still alive. Also, Abbas can't stop every last instance of violence against Israelis...especially if Israelis keep insisting on doing crap that inflames tensions between themselves and the Palestinians. Let's face it, the Palestinians are much closer to compromising than Israel is. The real problem here is Israel's intransigence on settlers.

    I have come to the sad realization that Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel's version of Donald Trump.

    In other words, completely disconnected from reality.

    They're both cynical politicians who have hijacked the rhetoric of national defense to advance their immoral agendas.
