I’m interested in how you get your “facts” about “cynical” Israelis who vote for Sharon. Have you spoken to one. Do you want my phone number?
**december, ** the chutzpah is yours, in stating “we Jews.” (I’m a Jew, and I for one completely disagree with you.) Then again, your statement that “the Palestinians” have committed mass murder and terrorism against Israelis is equally silly, as a) only a small fraction of Palestinians has commited acts of violence, and b) some Israelis have committed acts of violence.
IMO there is fault on both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian equation. Any argument over who started what is just going to devolve into one of the chicken-and-egg type.
Can we get past it and try to make peace? Blaming one side over the other at this point is just silly and counterproductive.
