Subject: RE: BS: Who Are the Terrorists? Part II
Kevin, I Think that it was in Time magazine but I'm not sure. That is why I added the disclaimer. I hoped that someone else would remember the article too.
Looking at the pictures and at the drawing, I find it hard to understand how Mohammed could have been shot in the stomach, huddled against the wall as he was behind a concrete barrel that appears to be 2 1/2 to 3 feet in diameter. I'm sure that better minds than mine have studied this but it still puzzles me.
BTW, I couldn't remember Mohammad al-Durrahs' name. That's why I didn't give it.
"And you think that THAT is an accusation of Anti-Semitism? Sheeesh!!

Two or three other people seemed to think so too."
I'll have to take your word for it, Carol, I guess because they sure didn't post their sentiments on THIS thread.
The thread from Gush Shalom was most interesting but if Sharons vision IS of an Israel "from the river to the sea" then he's a piker. Menachem Begin envisioned it the same way only HIS river was the Euphrates rather than the Jordan. The part about them carrying signs of support through Palestinian neighborhoods with no signs of hostility was good. They obviously feel that, like them, the Palestinians want only peace and recognize them as allies.
Of course, they could be wrong. The Palestinians could see them as useful dupes, to be used and discarded when their effectiveness is gone.
Just a thought. Sometimes we see things as we wish they were instead of as they are. I hope that this is not the case here because I think the people of Gush Shalom are quite sincere in their belief that theirs is the way.
This article may shed some light on just why Sharon refused to accept the Un inspection team.
