I do not need to put words into your mouth Jim.
Your own words condemn you.
"As a pragmatist I realise that without some sort of resistance Israel would have no hesitation in moving in on Gaza and moving the Palestinians out, with any means at their disposal."

Israel moved out of Gaza completely.
The rockets increased.
You say they should still resist, and even though you claim to be a pacifist, you demand violent resistance.
Never mind that the shrapnel packed rockets are intended for ordinary, innocent people and their children.

I do not think Emma or Foolestroupe are with you on that Jim.
I think you are in a place on your own.

I have not and do not support Israel's abuses. I just seek balance.
