Can we stop this "people on both sides" crap? The Jingoist Jews who believe that Israel should be the same as it was in biblical times (They refer to the adjacent Arab lands as Judea and Sumeria) have neither the means nor the licence to wage war on their "enemies". The most they have been able to do is occasionally expand the limits of settlement. They have not bombed Palestinian busses, they have not hijacked Arab planes. When they have harmed Palestinians or desicrated Islamic shrines, they have been jailed. Israel, for reasons of morality or for reasons of practicality, does not permit its lunatic fringe free rein. Neither, for that matter does Egypt or Jordan, which is why those nations are able to offer a secure peace with their traditional enemy. Mc Grath's empty solutions to Israel's struggle for survival are nothing more than a high handed "That's nice, dont fight". Well, that dont wash in this conflict. We are dealing with an enemy that is more than willing for everyone to die to appease its god. Perhaps, the only good thing to come out of the 9/11 murders, is that the world (with the possible exception of McGrath) understands who these nuts are and how important it is to fight them.
