Reply #99: What do you mean by 'peaceful approach'? [View All]

Do you mean the Palestinians should be good, cowed, occupied people and just take whatever Israel throws at them without trying to resist? I think that's been done. Or that there should have been more in the way of negotiating between Israel and the Palestinians? If it's the second, I don't know why yr blaming the Palestinians for it when it was consistantly Israel that refused to negotiate with the Palestinians for so long....

Through the eyes of most Americans the Sept 11 attacks happened due to envy at their freedom, democracy, and way of life. That's what the govt and the media peddled, much the same as it's peddled to Israelis that they're offering everything and getting kicked in the teeth in return. In both cases, any cries of being supreme victims falls really flat. It kind of reminds me of those guys who bash the shit out of their partners and then when they get busted for it, start blaming their partner for provoking them and trying to wrap themselves in the mantle of victim...
