""By all means give peace a chance but it is not Israel that has a constitution that demands the death of every Arab in Palestine. hamas has to change dramatically before it finds itself acceptable in the civilised world - Do that and all else follows.""

So peace in the schoolyard can only be countenanced when the VICTIM lies down and allows the BULLY to kick him, at which point the BULLY will magnanimously withdraw to the accolade of all his supporters, while the VICTIM crawls off to the doctor's surgery for treatment.

VERY EQUITABLE! And I bet the Israelis would love it.

Well I supervised a playground with 300 kids for over fifteen years, and my take on ending a playground fight is this. YOU GRAB BOTH OF THEM, PULL THEM APART, AND SEND BOTH OF THEM TO THE HEADMASTER FOR PUNISHMENT!!!

That is how it should be dealt with, and by so doing you deprive the BULLY of the status he would gain among other thugs, by being allowed to claim a WIN.
