Tak, a very good friend of mine, was killed in the Israeli attack on and invasion of Lebanon when he was visiting with family and friends on vacation. I guess you could say he had the most direct experience of Israeli terrorism. It's frustrating, because whenever I try to talk with people about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, they jump on Palestinians as if they were animals trying to attack the innocent Israelis in their home country. It's almost as if people actually pay attention to the propaganda.
I respect the shit out of you, DC, but we're going to end up disagreeing on this one, I suspect. I think the AN and UN were irresponsible giving Israel back land where they had once ruled long ago. The whole situation, and subsequent situations, have been poorly planned, conceived, and intentioned. I feel horrible that the holocaust happened, and I'm ashamed to come from the same ancestors as those who carried it out, but the Palestinians didn't deserve to be displaced. So long as Israel bombs the shit out of Palestinians, and Palestinians strap bombs to their chests, the bloodshed will continue. It's a damn shame because more innocent people die than guilty.
