If -*BAD WORD*- goes down it might not go down in Israel. It might go down in NY or Washington DC or Shanksville PA or Nairobi or Bali or Yemen.

 

We all have an interest in resolving this one.

Furthermore, if -*BAD WORD*- goes down in Israel, who's to say the palestinians muslim brothers aren't going to jump in too? Monte's right.. we all need to be interested in this.

Wow. A point of agreement.

1) I meant patient with the UN.

 

2) The wall could be used as an armistace. Maybe, I know its unlikely, but just maybe both sides will actually stay on their side of the wall long enough to negotiate a permanent solution.

 

3) The situation cannot really get much worse. Fueling hatred is of little consequence, both sides already have more than enough hatred of each other to continue. Adding more hatred is not going to do much. Thus, its worth it to take a long shot plan like this at the expense of creating Palestinian hatred, because they had enough to begin with.

 

 

I said so from the beginning though. Its not opposition to the plan itself that bugs me. I will admit that there are better things that can be tried. It would be better, for example, that international troops occupy a no-man's land between them until things settle down.

 

The point was that the UN vote was almost unanamous over a debatable plan. This plan could work, but they threw it away without even thinking about it.
