McGrath can take some Kampfort in his protestations of peaceful objectivity, but the rest of us undeserving victims can spot his arguments for what they are. Just on the off chance that he isn't so one sided as he appears, I'll state this one more time, and real loud, so he can hear it without his glasses. THE ISSUE IS NOT, AND NEVER HAS BEEN, THE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIANS TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN STATE. THE ISSUE IS, AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, THE RIGHT OF THE JEWS TO ESTABLISH A STATE. IN POLL AFTER POLL, ISRAELIS HAVE EXPRESSED WIL:LINGNESS TO ACCEPT A SEPARATE PALESTINIAN STATE. WHAT THEY DEMAND IS SECURE BORDERS, NOT AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST IN LIGHT OF THE FIFTYTHREE YEAR HISTORY OF WAR AND TERRORISM LAUNCHED BY THOSE WHO DID NOT, DO NOT AND WILL NEVER ACCEPT A JEWISH STATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Was that legible?
