I been out of pocket for several days and probably won't get to post as much in the immediate future either.
Suffice to say that the conflict has be going on so long that there is plenty of material for blame and wrongdoing to go around for all sides. Most of the suggestions here have already been tried or offered...... to no avail.
It is obvious that the radical Arabs will not be content until Israel is destroyed.....Palestine is just a ruse as the leader of the PLO has himself said. If I thought that eliminating Israel would bring peace, I'd say do it and just give them Patterson farms.
If they take over Israel though, who will be next? They seem to expect for democracies and capitalism to simply bow to OPEC and forget about making money themselves. I believe that the destruction of Israel is but one of many goals.
Everyone is certainly welcome to their own opinion though.
