Well, that wasn't really what my point was. My point was that I don't see any valid moral high ground in stevo's post, and I was trying to demonstrate that, by turning the tables on his statements (which I found to be unhelpful in general... just as unhelpful as my "statements" were). My point was not to try and elicit understanding of the Israelis or their desires, but rather that the inanity of stevo's argument could be applied just as well to the inanity of the Palestinians' OR the Israelis' justifications for all this shit.
Meh, I take no sides here, that's my point. I find that people taking sides, especially from armchairs across the ocean, far from any kind of hurt or harm, is totally out of line. Maybe I'm out of line for saying that... many would think so. So be it.
