""Jim Carroll, I'm not ashamed of myself for contrasting a view of the Israeli/Palestinian tragedy that considers only one side and doesn't value at all the right to exist of the other side.""

Roberto, you are seriously out of order.

Nobody here has ever (to my knowledge) denied the right of Israel to exist.

What we are opposed to is its expansion into areas set aside for Palestinians, its colonisation of the more fertile regions of these areas, its brutal suppression of any resistance to the above, and its apparent intention of starving the inhabitants of Gaza so that they will leave, or die.

I do not think that our objections are unreasonable, or anti-Semitic.

What do you think?
