a must read for this discussion. .

What is it about the Palestinian situation that makes the emergence of a leader who would profess non violence, or I dare say...love, seem like such an impossibility? Targeting conscious would be an effective strategy, as it has proven - with a better record than terrorism. Is it the "shame culture" thing, machismo, or are things too far gone with the mental illness of rabid revenge? Is it tw's suggestion that more death is needed to wake moderates? What will shake consciousness to stop? non violence might . Does nonviolence as a strategy needs to gain some status as "hardball"?

The last guy from the region who honestly preached non-violence got crucified.

... or, assassinated, if you want to count Rabin.

Arafat has said that he would rather be made a martyr than give in to Israel...

regardless, it's the <b>right</b> thing to do - lead the people whom you've been elected to lead. If you can't do it, step down.

Palestinian hatred training
 

The Palestinian bombing campaign is superbly designed to do one thing, and one thing only: it prevents the growth or development of any sympathy for the Palestinians whatsoever.

What the Palestinians, or certain abscess-brains among them, must do is to stop giving the rest of the world the idea that genocide, either of the Palestinians or of the Israelis, might be a good solution to this chronic fever of the body politic. It's a lousy idea, but one which nonetheless has some fed-up people imagining that a final solution is the only solution. :(

Certain Arab-world publications have pushed for genocide upon Israel. To those people, I would say, "Do not push for genocide; that has a way of coming back to kill you, too."
