When are those %$?* Palestinians going to stop murdering Israelis and just let them live?

Um, you know, that conflict goes both ways. Yes, the Palestinians kill Israelis. And then the Israeli army goes into the Palestinian areas and kills some people. And then the Palestinians retaliate, etc. etc. This is not a case of the poor Israelis being randomly murdered by the vicious, evil Palestinians. This is a conflict that goes back at least sixty year, and even longer if you're really gonna dig back.I did a huge-ass essay on this when I was sixteen, yo. I know about this conflict.

It's horrible, and sad, and has claimed way, way, way to many lives over the course of sixty years, but the reason it's been going on since then is precicely because there is blame on both sides!

And now I'll stop myself before I launch into a veritable diatribe on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and why it's still not resolved. Nobody wants to hear that, right? Thought so.

You go, Melle! I agree entirely. Every time I saw Dubya on TV this weekend condemning Arafat only I would bury my face in a cushion and let loose a stream of muffled curses.
