I think that if the palestenians were to get together and commit to a non-violence movement, like that of ghandi or MLK, then their cause would be won... They DO have legitimate grievances, and Isreal's policies are not just...

Killing innocents is never excusable... if you call them collateral damage or you target them indirectly, it is still wrong. But to go and search out civilians to kill them is in my mind far more wrong... and seems cowardly...

I have very little patience with either side in the Isreal/Palestinian conflict... both are too concerned with destroying the other. We should not support either side... The fact is the palestinians have a legitimate gripe..(does that justify the suicide bombings? HELL NO!!!)

The palestinians have GOT to learn non violent protest, but I doubt they will- given the fact that their schools seem to indoctrinate them about the joys of martyrdom...

It is a VERY sad situation, one that inept arrogant leaders are making worse....

What would happen if we said to both parties " no more money for you until you work this out"?

We should try it....
