In all honesty, i intellectually feel horror at the killing of civilians, but do i deeply care? No, for too many people die in so many places that only a fool really cares. The fact is that violence in the ME is very low-key. Only 2500 dead, at most, since 2000, and only 5000 at most since 1987. In just 2 years, there were ten times the death in Eritrea, ethiopia war, and its no comparison to countless other wars around the world.
Hell, the entire Arab-Israeli conflict, in all its forms could not have claimed more than 200,000 people in 50 years, which sounds like a huge number but realy isn't. I mean, more than that died in Central America during a shorter span of time. Hell, far more died in the Iran-Iraq war, and I have no clue how much the 'all Arabs' war in yemen killed, but it could be more. So why does this low intesity conflict get so mush freaking attention? I think because it is seen as a 'clash' of civs and blah blah.... that kind of crap, and if anything, that kind of attention detracts from people getting dwn to business.
I actually agree with Cris that outside intrvension is key to a peace deal. Just don't tell that to Siro or Eli.

It's difficult to get a UN force with the authority to act decisively, the alliance powers could do it more effectivly I think.
I would envision it this way:
Israel trusts the US, so US forces will take over all check points in israeli territory, The Palestinains trust the EU, so an equal EU force would take over the Palestinain side of said roadblocks, Israel can demobilize some of it's forces.
Palestine should be the entire west bank and Gaza strip area mentioned in the Oslo accords, with any leader they want (even Arafat, if that's who they want).
For now, Jerusalem should be a neutral zone, the desputed areas to be decided when tenstions ease.
Under NO circumstances would Israel be permitted to enter Palestine with military force, BY THE SAME TOKEN, no terrorist organization shall be allowed to exsist in Palestine (This MUST be enforced).
Say in a year or so, when tentions have eased, a meeting could begin talks over disputed areas.

Still smarting over your rebuff over your previous lack of good judgement else where I see.
Do your self a favor boy, you were wrong once, don't continue it here. |
You know...I could have easily tossed some of that little scuffle into this, and i admit i was considering it...but I decided against it, to be mature, and concentrate on the issue at hand. But if you're honestly so desparate as to bring up something that happened at ANOTHER forum - just bring it. Since your PM box was so conveniently full for the past few days, i'd be glad to post my thoughts about your *****ing and moaning here.
quote:
Then say it for ALL. |
What the hell do you think I just did?? I don't agree with or 'look the other way' for ANY terrorism.
quote:
It seems you have an interesting defintion of terrorism. |
Killing civilians is terrorism, regardless of whether it is led by a group of rebels or an established government.
quote:
That's bare, half-wit, if you want to pretend to an education, you will have to try harder. |
No, I believe it's bear.

I admit, I could be wrong...but hey the dictionary seems to point to it as being correct...i've seen it used both ways.
quote:
Very good, as well you should be. |
Thanks Dad, but as stated, I already denounce terrorism in all its forms.
quote:
No, you just don't have a problem with it.
Same old same old, it the shoe fits, wear it. |
 So you've just accepted that I denounce terrorism (Re: Very good, as well you should be) yet now you say that I don't have a problem with it. Make up your mind already, I have...
quote:
Oh, so now I'm a facist (that's how you spell it, BTW), your true colors seem to be showing through.
Shouldn't you be banned for such a comment?
On your own site you would, little deputy dawg. |
No, it's fascist. I guess you really DO like making an asshole out of yourself 
I guess Columbia just needed to meet a Greek-American quota or something. 
If you'd prefer to make an asshole out of yourself, fine. Less typing for me.
quote:
What a lovely display of political correctness.
Of course, I was entirly serious, you could tell from the fair and balenced thread title.
Remember what I told you about lack of judgement reguarding intent?
You just showed it again. |
How is it politically correct? I'm calling you out on the same **** you're calling me out on. You say I don't feel remorse for terrorism, which is unfounded. Then when i say that you don't express any concern, you say that I'm being politically correct. Please, think things out before you post, the conversation will go much more smoothly 
quote:
The ultimate weapon of the bigot is to claim they can't tell right from wrong.
You failed that little test.
Your slip is showing sweety, that's what taking a stand means, it's not about spouting PC crap like you just attempted, it's about right and wrong. |
It's wrong to shoot at innocent people. Palestinians, Israelis, Americans, orphans, quadriplegics
...nothing PC about this, pops. I've stated my opinion. Why don't you stop the patronizing act? You've obviously shown yourself to be my intellectual inferior...stand on your own to feet and defend your beliefs. If you can't do it just piss off, I don't feel like dealing with your trolls, tangents and side steps.
If you have anything of importance to say - just say it. Let's leave the petty CGN related stuff at the door, shall we?

Nope.

even those that do, how does that merit them being killed? If it were your child, wouldn't you try to protect them? Does that mean you should be put in the crosshairs?"
You directed this remark at me, that is where it began.

No...I posted a question and you didn't answer it. You still haven't answered it. Again, shall I quote? |
Is that your question?
Parents will always protect their children, but I don't believe it applies here.
It is
Fine

No, what I said related to bare/bear |
These long quotes get confusing.

Glad to hear it.

I'm glad you made that clear.

I did. You haven't answered my question. You avoided it because i'm 'just like every other jew-hating bigot' |
This was my EXACT quote:
"When you and the other bleeding hearts that make up this august body whine and ***** at a dead Jew the way you do for a dead Palestinian is the day I will answer such a question, instead of looking down at the lot of you with the digust I feel for all hypocrits."
This wasn't really aimed at you, more towards certain others.
I never called you a Jew hating bigot, see how these things take on a life of their own?
THIS was the post you seemed to have missed:
"Don't feel bad Che, I did pick on Orange to prove a point, and I shouldn't have, cause he's basically a decent guy."
BTW, my PM box is empty, feel free to bombard it all you like.
