| Mr Khan said: "Death to Israel" is boilerplate. A rallying cry that, while it has its share of true believers who do want nothing more or less than the destruction of Israel, is more taken up by people with a grievance against the current Middle Eastern power structure that they feel is intolerable and that they feel they are powerless to resolve. |
You're talking as if these people are rational about this issue when they quite obviously are not. It's a sickness, and what happened to David Gerbi yesterday (do these look like Islamic radicals?) only serves to highlight the pathological paranoia against non-Muslims - but especially the Jews - that afflicts so much of the Muslim world.
Given that fact, any land for peace concessions Israel might make will pacify their enemies as much as the Munich Agreement pacified Hitler. The land Israel gives up today will be used to attack them tomorrow.
