Again, I assume you mean British. We have already devolved some power. It
is extremists in NI [Republican and Unionist, elected and unelected] who are
currently dragging their heals.

So how is this different than Israel, Scott?  The Israelies already gave up
some land.  It is extremists in the PA (both elected and unelected) who are
currently dragging their heels, and fanning the flames.


I don't agree with your view.

The Israelis gave up a very small part of the land they stole a few decades ago
- its legal owners want all of it back. In order to keep it, the Israelis [in
the form of the rather heroic IDF] oppress all manner of innocents.

The bottom line is that those living in NI have the right to self-determination
and their Human Rights are protected under UK/EU/International law.

In the occupied territories, the Palestinians have no right to
self-determination and their Human Rights sidelined.

Is that enough?

Scott A

BTW: Don't assume I support anything which the UK has done in NI.
