Subject: RE: BS: Who are the Terrorists? Part 114
Why only set limits on the Palestinians? Since it's the Israeli government's policies that are causing this mess, why don't we put some limits on them?

Like maybe, "Stop expanding the settlements or we'll stop sending you billions of dollars of military aid ever year". That would be a good start.

And then, how about, "Stop denying the Palestinians in the occupied territories access to water".

And then, "Stop using collective punishment as a way to crush the entire Palestinian people in order to 'persuade' them to flee their homes yet once again".

Or maybe "Stop practicing genocide and ethnic cleansing on the Palestinian people".

I bet setting limits like those would be a hell of a lot more effective in ending the bloodshed than getting rid of Arafat.

And besides, when we turn a blind eye to these kinds of atrocities committed by Israel, and focus only on blaming the victims of these atrocities, what kind of monsters does that make us?
