The name-calling and rancor attending these erstwhile discussions proves the point as to why there continues to be open hostility between Israel and Palestinians.

There are no "right" answers as the pro-Israel pundits bloviate and the Palestinian people are second class citizens, even though Islam has its share of bloviaters as well.

The factoids presented here have no intrinsic value because they don't solve any problems but create more "walls" and divisions between people with their attempts to rationalize their
hostile behavior.

There is no real talk of peace between the two factions on this site which emphasizes
the thread's meaning here. The small hope has to do with the relinquishing of unhelpful factoids that support a propagandist point of view in the attempt for some to be "right" on this issue to bolster some egoistical claim to logic.

No real logic=no peace. Real logic has to do with an in-depth analysis of the situation and constructive attempts to solve the problem which is not found here or in the mid-East with perhaps the exception of BDS or the flotillas which remain to be seen.

In the meantime, the name-calling and self-righteous smugness of the Israeli defenders and the ignorance of the devastating effects of Islam regarding women's rights, Sharia law and other humanitarian violations is prevalent here.

What we have is children in the sandbox throwing sand at each other.
