Not all of it can be blamed on Israel's influence on our news media (which is insidious and very real).

It always amazes me the massive blind spot quasi-progressive Seattleites have towards their own jawdropping antisemitism.

Name any other point in history when a nation attacked by its neighbors, which not only successfully defended themselves but turned around the conflict and acquired disputed lands from its attackers, was then expected to relinquish or acquiesce to global pressure regarding those acquired lands in any way.

Should Germany get Gdańsk and Alsace-Lorraine back, just to be nice? Let's send Texas back to Mexico, shall we?

Had historical precedent been followed, residents of the former Jordanian and Egyptian territories would have been mass-exiled east and south, the lands would have become wholly Israeli, and that would have been that.

That Israel would even entertain the idea of a two-state solution makes them historical outliers.

And two-thirds of them *support* apartheid.

People living in Israel care more about the Palestinians and the despicable actions of their own state than people in America, which tells you a lot about Americans.

@17: Anyone who thinks that Palestine was being given aything but a completely raw deal does not understand what the deal was. The point was for a two-state solution, not Israel retaining power or a tiny, non-continous "state" still under the essential control of another hostile state.

Arafat would have been signing the Palestinians into essentially a large prison camp.

Howabout we put the children of Gaza in storage instead until the adults are done killing each other?

Oh, I'm sorry, you didn't WANT the truth?

I thought your post was an interesting insight into how people removed from the political front lines react to a sudden drop in perceived stability. Thank you for it!
