(30,109 posts)Israel offered to end the conflict. Arafat refused and declared war (Intifada) instead. And you still blame Israel for that. How fucking immoral and twisted is that?
You've seen those disgusting PMW videos. Given what you saw, what makes you think the PLO or Hamas wants an end to the conflict, and peace with the Jews? Seriously. I can't wait for the answer.
And troops at the border wouldn't help stop the rocket launchers within the W.Bank shoot down airplanes or send kassams into a densely populated Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. Let me ask you - if Israel ended the occupation and the Palestinians started hitting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, hitting airplanes, hitting vehicles in rush hour traffic on the highways.... would you be for Israel re-occupying the territory, on the grounds that Israel is simply indefensible w/o that occupation?
