I am not the Guest that Alex/Mousethief has been having an irrational argument with.
I started the thread because I surprised at the silence from Mudcat in response to the murder of a baby by a Palestinian sniper. I recall the outrage here when a Palestinian boy was killed when he was caught in the crossfire; in particular from McGrath of Harlow.
The responses from McGrath in this thread have been more than reasonable and I applaud his sense of justice.
Alex, I do think that you are ill informed about the complexities of the issues in the Middle East.
By the way, I have been an active mempber of Peace Now for many years and I am involved in several groups working for social justice and peace with the Palestinians. There are millions of Israelis who are committed to peace and justice.
I did not vote for Sharon. The reason that many did was because of the Palestinian response to the peace initiatives of Barak.
