You are describing effects as if they were causes, in my mind . . . as a people dispossessed of their land (Palestinians) are, in my opinion, allowed to want it back. It's not like the east germans bulldozed down communities, bombed random targets under the guise of fighting terrorism, and kept the west germans under hard military, social and economic controls. We both realise the situation is not as simple as what you or I describe; however, we both know whose side the propoganda (news) is coming from.
It is sad to hear you say a wall that has been as destructive (in my mind) as the berlin wall in terms of going through towns and diving a people is a good idea . . .[ Parent ]
but i think ten years out the situation for the majority in both countries will be improved by the presence of a wall. a different wall might be better, but a bad wall is probably better than no wall.
this is one of those cases where all available options suck; there is no good option to choose, just varying flavors of less bad. If television is a babysitter, the internet is a drunk librarian who won't shut up.[ Parent ]
