    I hear a Palestinean Woman berate the International News Media claiming that the death of a Palestinean is treated with indifference compared to the death of an Israeli.

    It is this lack of "parity" that seems to drive the Palestineans into a frenzy.

    For this Palestinean point to have validity, should not the Palestineans disavow and condemn all suicide bombing?

    Until the Palestineans stop suicide bombing, how can the world take seriously the claim that a Palestinean death is treated with indifference compared to an Israeli death if the Palestineans blow themselves up.

    If the Palestineans ceased suicide bombing, the international support for their "cause" would equal that of the Israeli's.

    The ball truly is in the court of the Palestineans.

    Question

    i'm sorry...

    when you use the term 'trump card', alex,
    what the hell do you mean?

    if you are suggesting the (played out) yin-yang
    game of 'whos-got-the-upper-hand-now?'
    so what?

    i am not sure why you are concerned here.
    yeah...i suppose that is what i am asking.

    Why am I concerned?

    Because two adjoining groups of "religious" people seem to want to kill each other first and ask questions later.

    So if it doesn't touch your butt, you shouldn't be concerned?

    sigh.

    zelazny was probably trying to agree with me, but as Shatouska has pointed out, you can't "make them" stop suicide bombing.

    The best that can happen is for foreign dignitaries to publicly state that there can never be any chance of peace if one side fervently believes that suicide bombing is an honorable thing.

    So, the purpose of this post is to give you an advanced reasoning technique to use in regards to the middle east...

    Until both sides agree that suicide bombing is APPREHENSIBLE...there can NEVER BE PEACE.
