Subject: RE: BS: PEACE in the Middle East (2)
The following statement is as racist as saying blacks are shiftless and lazy, or not quite as intelligent as whites, or that Jews are by nature greedy and cheap. Or that all Israelis are brutal oppressors. And now I am finished with you.

Or maybe there are so few Palestinian Arab peace groups because they don't feel what the Jewish and Gentile peace groups feel. Compassion, guilt perhaps, empathy, even a sense of fairness. Maybe that just isn't a part of their makeup or maybe they feel justified in murdering women and children with bombs in the name of "self-determination" or whatever.
