I doubt you would be talking this way if you or your family were in the same boat as the Palestians It's obvious you have no real emotional connection to their plight, and only use cold reasoning to make your judgements (this of course would change in blink if you yourself were a refugee with little hope, then such cool reasoning would be replaced with the very real feeling of despair and all that goes with it)

Actually Rab, if you'd read what I wrote properly you would see that I do not, in any way downplay the suffering of the Palestinians. All I point out is that there are just as many ethics-based reasons why modern day Israeli's shouldn't have to be the ones to compensate the Palestinians as there are why they should.
I doubt you would hold your position if YOU were the one facing the loss of billions of dollars and being forced to accept the blame for the biggest series of attrocities since WWII, even though you have only ever known a two-sided war.

Exactly. Which is something neither side would be able to see. A connection to either side can lead do bias and unrealistic exectations. Hence why there are such negotiation problems.

No, he wasn't. His father (who named him) was a muslim and he attended a muslim school in indonesia when he was six, he also went to catholic schools. That doesn't make him a muslim, that also doesn't mean he's against israel. Stop lying.
