willravel, if my memory serves me right olmert ran on the campaign of pulling out of the west bank. i might be wrong so if i am , anyone please correct me. i find it funny that you find anyone labeling the people of lebanon as supporters of hezbollah wrong and immoral (which it is) but you have no problem using such a blanket generalization for those "gun toting, bulldozing" israelis, eh? hezbollah, a shiite radical group, is actually made up of 15% of the entire lebanese population (they are shiites. also hezbollah makes up about half of the entire shiite population of lebanon) with supporters scattered around the country. clearly that is not the majority of the population. the same thing applies to israelis. the most radical who claim relgious property of the land, etc only constitute about 12% of the population. that 12% is "ultra conservative" and in my opinion is just as messed up as any other group of people with fundamental religious beliefs. about half of the population defines itself as "secular." these are the people that I was around and generally, these people are in agreement. they wanna raise their children, work, and live in peace. maybe they were just hiding their bulldozers, though.
