Espiecally with the number of children with PTSD.

Palestine should take a lesson from the Irish... build what's left of your nation into a respectable nation with it's own economy and army... and then have terrorists.

Right now the Palestinians are being stubborn and foolish... in a situation in which they have almost no barganing power.

I didn't see this edit. To an extent, I agree.

Really? I'm surprised. Can't see how the Pals could build up an economy while under a brutal occupation and their lives completely dominated. Comparing occupied Palestine to Ireland and N.ireland is the foolish mistake. There's barely a comparison to be had and the British rule in N.Ireland was far less savage than the the Israeli occupation. Israel didn't even accept the shameful secret PA concessions evident in the Palestinian Papers released to Al Jezeera and The Guardian. I really can't see (unless from a Imperialist/Colonialist/Zionist/Christian Fundamentalist POV) how anyone who's read the actual histrory of the conflict could side with the Israelis in this conflict.

There is a reason why I said to an extent. Where he's correct is that we have literally no bargaining power at the moment...not with the current Arab rulers...the only people who seem to know what's best for the Palestinian plight are Erdogan and the Emir of Qatar. Turkey's a major player in regional power, but Qatar isn't. The Egyptians are still fighting off the old regime to this day.

I am firmly anti-Zionist (again, for reiteration, that does NOT mean I'm antisemitic/against the Jews), and I have no sympathy with the Israeli government whatsoever. Just so you know. And I know the conflict quite well as a Palestinian myself (us Arabs in general are more awake than people can possibly imagine). However, I'm also trying to keep it civil.

But what I mean is, just for the time being, to find a way to at least break the Gaza embargo. Because conditions there are FAR more brutal than the West Bank. But of course, that doesn't mean they should settle for something that puts them in a tough spot for future plans.
