We needn't equate people who have sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians with people who automatically support the terrorist activities of some of them. Speaking for myself, I would shoot dead a terrorist of any persuasion, if there was not time enough for other alternatives and lives were in immediate danger. If I were the UN in charge of some of the schools there I would be checking out exactly what is taught. If I were passing out American dollars to Israel I would make sure we knew what the borders were we are paying to defend. There would be no, zero, settlements in certain areas. They would be set aside for farmers, particularly those who could farm with little water. There would be a transportation system to get farmers back and forth to their farms and through whatever checkpoints are necessary. mg
