Excuse me. I am saying that the Palestinians have every reason
to be fighting mad and that they have been done dirty. I am not
saying every tactic they use is ok. Although I would point out
that they don't have a lot of alternatives. Your
characterisation of what I am saying is highly suspect. Stop
seeing me as an emeny or "irrational" and perhaps we can have a
decent conversation for once.
