See, i think just the opposite. I think what the world needs is a solidarity-style total boycott of Israel until an accord is reached. Israel knows that they have it made in the position they're in right now, and they're abusing it as they continue to strangle the life out of the West Bank. They need someone to bully them into peace. |
Boycott them all you want. Maybe you can make the U.N. force Israeli businesses to put the Star of David symbol on all their products so they can easily be identified by people who oppose them and wish to boycott them. Hey, it worked well in Nazi Germany.
It's pretty simple. Don't attack Israel, and Israel won't attack you. All the Palestinians (and the Muslim population in general) have to do is stop attacking Israel and mind their own business, and if Israel is still coming off as the aggressor to most of the world after the Palestinians make an honest attempt at peace, then they have a legitimate grievance and real pressure can be put on Israel.
But if they lay off Israel, and Israel doesn't attack or provoke them in any way... they who else can they put the blame on for all of their social, political, and economical problems? And how will they be able to keep feeding their kids all that hatred for Israel and the Jews?
I read an article awhile back (not sure what year but Bush was still in the White House) that basically talked to the average Palestinians and asked them how willing were they really to make peace with Israel and coexist with them. Not surprisingly, older Palestinians who were interviewed expressed more willingness to give the whole peace thing a chance, while the younger generation of Palestinians were much more likely to express anger and hatred towards Israel and less likely to accept any kind of two-state solution with Israel.
This fact isn't going to change any time soon, and this is the side that you apparently support. Like these well meaning and peaceful folks right here...
Awww, see how joyful and full of life they are. Don't you just want to give them a state?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
