No, I inferred that *some* Palestinians are terrorists, because some *are*.
Can *you* tell the difference between a non-terrorist Palestinian and a
terrorist one? It is *their* choice to blurr the distinction-- let them
*renounce* terrorism and their own who would terrorize.
The USA is

Yes, Scott, and I see how effectively Europe's world view has dealt with it.
You all don't have the moral courage to take a stand against it, because that
would be judgemental. And so you tolerate it for 40 odd years....
I wonder if the UK would just take an attack that leveled Buckingham Palace in
stride, or would she "wake up".
Personally, I find it

Why so? I think I remember you accusing the US of sponsoring terror as well,
so what's your point?

Let's suppose tomorrow that there instantly are Jewish and Palestinian states
conforming to the '67 borders. What kind of a state do you imagine the
Palestinian one to be? God help the Palestinians if they ever get what they
want, because then they will have no one left to blame for all of their
problems that they will still have.

Of course, because all of your beliefs about this conflict are backwards.

Really. And what leads you to that conclusion? The fact that they continually
send murder bombers to slaughter innocent Israelis? If there were such a thing
as a playbook of peace, I doubt one would find that strategy contained in it.
Fact is, no one can really tell what they want, except by what they *do*. I
see them harboring, recruiting, training and unleashing terrorists, not taking
action to thwart them.
When will you get it? This all has nothing to do with a Palestinian state, but
everything to do with Islamic terrorists. As unpleasant as it may sound, they
must be eliminated. All of them. Where ever they are-- West Bank, Syria,
Pakistan, Iraq, Iran. It's a simple as that. Or they will eliminate us.
