Well, Britain and the League of Nations were wrong to assist in
creating a Middle East version of South African apartheid.
Just like it was wrong when we rounded up American Indian's onto Reservations, or allowed slavery or supported South Africa's Apartheid regime. But to still be arguing that emigrated European Jews have the "right" to establish a racist segregationist theocracy - by force- is about 40 years behind the rest of the class in thinking and civilization skills.
Now I'm not saying it will be easy to climb the mountain but it is easy to point in the right direction. Both sides quit using every attack by the other side as an excuse to act like deranged serial killers, as if their killing your mom somehow excuses your killing their little sister?!! Take a deep breath, calm down, and grow up.

Israeli moms and Palestinian/Lebanese moms both want their kids to walk home from school safely. The basics of civilization and cooperation and rationality are not some big fricking mystery or cultural or religious barrier. we all have more in common than not, it is just a relatively few loud, greedy, hotheads punks who are causing half the problems, the other half of the problem is that the rest of us let the brats get away with peeing all over the neighbors lawn and then we wonder why the neighbors talk to us all crazy-like.
Share the land, the votes, and the water. Make reason the national religion and kind humor the national anthem. Combine forces to pin down the hotheads. Lead by example...good example. Right now all "we" want to do is fight. And, funny, that's all they want to do too. Hmm.
All the hotheads are emulating one another: "I'm gonna get you", "not if I get you first".
And if it weren't for all the blood it would look just like a bunch of snotty playground brats who desperately need an adult to peel 'em apart, make them sit down, help them see the issues clearly and then solve the problem fairly. Give 'em a hot meal and it would be suddenly over. Figuratively speaking.
With todays 410-8 vote giving Isreal a blank check there are no adults in Washington, certainly none learned from giving George a blank check, gee that turned out well.
And Bush wants to hit Iran because he's afraid to talk to them. Not surprising since he hasn't any ideas and his crew are just instigating anyways (their the type of kid who actually started the fights but never fought them nor got the consequences, unless their guy won). Bush/Israel is scared Iran might get a bike that's half as shiny as their's is and everyone will like them and we'll have to actually talk to them...its preschool level politics out there on the global stage. Pathetic.
I know one of you hotheads are gonna say: "but, but, but, this isn't a game... and he hit me first...and everybody else is jumping off the bridge so why cant I?"....Because we aren't everyone else THAT'S why, now wipe your nose and dry your eyes and lets go get something to eat...both of you.
