I've just read this whole thread a bit more carefully than I had time to before. I think I have sold this thread short in a couple of ways. First of all, Wolfgang, you criticized me for accusing you of something you never said or meant. Then you went and did something quite similar to me. You have assumed that my posting of multiple links is a tactic of trying to overwhelm the other people in the threads with links. You said:

The type I dislike is the look-how-many-websites-I-know-sharing-my-opinion type.

This is entirely incorrect. I would be happy to be able to post only one link for every point I want to make. It would be a lot less work for me. But I have found that on the subject of Israel/Palestine, people won't accept only one link or one source. They tend to dismiss it out of hand if more than one source isn't provided. Of course, some dismiss them out of hand even when several sources are provided, but only posting one link wouldn't make any difference with those people.

This may explain to you why I have a deep sympathy for Israel's wish to live in peace in a land with undisputed borders and with no government (or subgovernmental organisation in a neighbouring land) denying its right to exist.

It is an assumption on your part that I don't also have a deep sympathy for this very same thing. Where you and I differ is that in my opinion, the approach that the government of Israel is taking is giving them exactly the opposite result of the one they say they want.

I also see that there are quite a few very thoughtful posts in this thread that are not at all what I described in my second to last post. I apologize to those who posted them for this statement by me: "Most of this thread is nothing more than a very bizarre feeding frenzy by a bunch of people who are out for blood". Clearly the people who are/were doing that are in the minority, and everyone else deserves better than that.
