Habib, Yus, and others thanks for your opinions regarding the Israeli/Palestinian struggle. This struggle, just like that of the ANC/Afrikaner struggle, will only be resolved with an ultimatum from the Arabs to the Israelis. If you recalled after "constructive engagement", "Active Engagement" and all the international hypocrisy was exhausted, Africans in South Africa took matters in their hands and decided that either all living creatures in South Africa will die or Apartheid ends without bloodshed. When the Afrikaners realized what was involved, Afrikaner rule ended in no time. In this case, the Arab states would have to make such a stance for Sharone to stop this nonsense. This is not 1967, for the weapons Israel has, all of them have. But, as long as the Arab states have this "love everything USA", the Palestinians are going to continue to suffer at the hands of Israel and the US. War is an extension of diplomacy and vice versa. Sharone knows that the Arab states are sedated by the US and that is why he is continuously lowering the standard of acceptable behavior. For those that believe that the palestinians are the aggressors, well check the records since this problem began and see how many Palestinians were killed as opposed to Israelis. You will find that on average, for every Israeli killed, ten fold of Palestinians are killed. Just like other historic struggles, this one is sustained by world hypocrisy.
