Jonathan and Gerhard,
I would like to know the specific nature of the attacks on Palestinians that Gerhard spoke of. If they were just random attacks on people who weren't causing any trouble, then that's an injustice. Even if they were suspected terrorists who weren't currently involved in some incident, that's still an injustice. But i can't judge anything until i really know what it was that happened.
While i understand the Jewish struggle for a homeland, i still believe that it was a huge mistake to simply give them part of the Palestinian's land (In fact, the congressman who tried ardently to prevent this move was later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize). I also long for a just and equitable peace, which is why i was so disheartened when Arafat refused Barak's concessions, the most Israel had ever offered. Arafat might have been assassinated by his own people if he did accept the Sharon i can safely say is a step down from Barak. This is the guy that ordered the entire massacre of specifically the women and children of a Palestinian village years ago. I dont know, i don't think it's a question of right or wrong, it's just a question of how long the road to acceptance is.
