Hey, guys, I think it's time to end this silly debate. The participants, myself included, are unlikely to change their positions or, even, consider the validity of another position. What's more, in such a charged atmosphere, passions solidify preconceptions and objective logic becomes an attackable flaw. I, only, chimed in because the first replies were so one sided that they demanded reply. I leave you with a few questions that you should think about for a while before you respond.

Is a Jewish state racist, by definition? If it is, how can you justify Moslim states?

Do you, really, think that the terrorism would end if a Palestinian state were established? Do you trust the peaceful intentions of the Islamic fundimentalisys?

If you disaprove of the Israeli response to the terrorist attacks, what do you propose they do, instead?

If you live in New York City, how do you think America should respond to the terrorists? If you dont live in a target area, try to imagine that you do (it's almost impossible to do, but try, anyway).

I wish you all rak shalom (nothing but peace)
