Reply #18: That quote is from a long time ago, perhaps before the war. [View All]

In my attempt to find an air date, I found this nugget:

I saw Thomas Friedman on "Oprah" today. He made a point on Israel by saying; "Israel won a war in six days, they have been stuck in the seventh day for 35 years."

He said this to make a point about how Israel and the U.S.A. are hated because they can win wars but not the peace. Their policies don't include the losers. Hence the Palestinians with nothing to lose because they are not included in the Israeli dream of a good life, strike in the only way they know how. With suicide-bombers. We haven't equipped the Palestinians with the terrible weapons the Israelis have. I don't condone this acts, but I can understand the frustration and hopelessness they feel.
