Thread Name: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
B.B. There has always been propagandistic crap from Israel and Palestinians. There is nothing informative here. Both sides have engaged not only in a war of words but of ideology and neither seems to want to recognize the humanity of the other.

The problem of course is that Israel is militarily stronger than Palestinians due to their advancement of nuclear weapons and materiel provided by the US. So who is the David or the Goliath?

Noam Chomsky at first advocated the One State solution and then I guess realizing that nobody would accept this then supported the Two State solution which is better than nothing I think.

Fortunately, there are sane heads in Israel that often make the pages of Ha'Eretz" such as the leader of Gush Shalom, Ari Avnery and other notable critics such as Chomsky, Juan Cole, and Dahr Jamail. I would trust what they have to say rather than some trumped-up
piece of Bushlike inflammatory rhetoric disguised as "fact".

Peace in the Mid-East will not be accomplished by enemy-posing and name-calling and phony pronouncements by either side.
