I made that comment because another member stated that too many people use the Israel as if its a single entity when engaged in these discussions, I was attemtping my best not to offend anyone as this subject has allot of emotion behind it. I strive to say what I believe and hopefully maintain an atmosphere that doesnt take the conversation to bad place. The fact is is an extremely heated subject and I think more are starting to understand what it has the potential of becoming. I will make such clarifications from time to tme to hopefully take fuel away from someone that is looking for reasons to flame.
I dont know if I believe in polls myself, and like everything else rely on what I see on TV, read, or hear on the radio as it has become entirley too dangerous to go there. (which is too bad; it may not be the most asthetically pleasing place, but full of interesting places too visit)
As far as Israel releasing the grip for a day and it being effective; it's a good question. Without going into the reasons of why the checkpoints are there (another discussion) if several deaths have happend because hospital access was not granted I see problems associated with other things.
