Hey Tom, it's this kind of bullshit rhetoric that's not helping. It just shows how fucking biased we are, something we can't be if we want to have any hopes of being a successful mediator. Look, I'm sorry, but at this point, it doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong. Clearly, the Palestinian side has plenty of shit they need to work out. But it's not like the Iraelis are bending over backwards to make this shit work.

Look, I know that Middle East peace is a longshot, maybe even impossible. But these people aren't even trying.

Also, is anyone else bothered by Jews and Christians teaming up like this? Aren't they supposed to hate eachother because of this little crucifixion incident 2000 years ago? Just goes to show you how sickeningly politicized organized religion has become.
