38. The whole point of boycotting Apartheid was to force that state to
fail. And, after 30 years, it finally worked.

Do you want Israel to fail? That is what a boycott would accomplish. That is what boycotts are for.

I can understand that the Palestinians have no land and no right of return in many cases. I also do not want to see Israel, the only long term democracy (within israel) in the middle east, to fail. I don't.

I am very hopeful that something will come out of the elections. And the withdrawls. And as people live more on the internet than ever before, that people will be able to live side by side, even if they fought for eons.

That is my hope.
