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.

Nrrrrrrgh! Need I remind her that Ariel Sharon, who is worse than Dubya if at all possible, because he has shitloads of big guns and tanks to play with and deploy at HIS OWN PEOPLE (granted, the Palestinians don't want to be his people, and nor would I, but until the Palestinians get their state, they're citizens of Israel, ja?), is the one ordering the army to hole up Yasser Arafat in HIS OWN HOUSE! Grrk. This situation scares me, much more than anything after 9/11 has, because I'm worried it WILL all go to hell. I think the Queen Mother just looked at all the shit that's going on over there and said, "Fuck this, I don't want to know how it turned out."
