pj, it was the Palestinians who were catered to, they recieved 95% of their demands, and that would have included a Palestinian State, but they walked away from it because it also included a Israeli State.
No. It takes two to tango.The did, in the Oslo Accords, They did.
(http://www.mideastweb.org/oslofailed.htm)The Oslo accords failed because Palestinians and Israelis still have national goals that are incompatible with each others' existence as free peoples, and with peace.

If Israel is sincere about peace, it can be achieved. But they are far too busy fretting about Iran to look after their own back yard.

Incorrect, again.Yes, and it was the Palestinians who refuse, not the Israelis.
Pardon me, I just fell off the chair in a fit of laughter. You don`t think, just for a split millisecond, that this "adventurism" (perception) is a reaction to unbridled US military adventurism, if not total onslaught against the Muslim ME, and which is the MAIN cause of problems?The wisest course is to take out the problem at the source, and the source of a lot of problems in the Middle East is Iranian Adventurism with the objective of establishing a new Persian Hegemony, or if you read Ahmadinejad's ranting's, to bring about the return of "The Guided One." the Hidden Imam, and the end times.
No, to further the ambitions of Arabs and Muslims in the ME as a whole, and AGAINST the American oppression..I find it funny that the Arabs have now figured out that supporting the Arabs of Gaza isn't a productive activity, but the Persians who have ambitions are using the Arabs of Gaza to further their own ambition.
They are not sleeping, they are trying to escape the imprisonment that the Israelis impose on them.When are the Arabs of Palestine going to wake up and stop being the pawns of first the Arabs, and now the Iranians?
Do you really think The Americans of the US have any real interest in the plight of the Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Iran, beyond oil and military/strategic/economic hegemony?Do you really think that the Persians of Iran, have any real interest in the plight of the Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank beyond their value to advance Iranian ambition?

Following protests by Israel, the Netherlands will reevaluate its funding of a human rights organization that alleged that Israeli troops used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza.
Acting on instructions from the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, the Israeli ambassador to Holland, Harry Knei-Tal, met last week with the director-general of the Dutch Foreign Ministry and complained about the Dutch embassy's funding of Breaking the Silence.
The Israeli ambassador suggested that Holland's funding of the organization should be terminated. "The Dutch taxpayer's money could be better used to promote peace and human rights," a source quoted Knei-Tal as saying.
More evidence of how lies and hypocrisy work for the Israelis in the world theater....
Power, scale, initial justification, and consequences. Among others.baron said:Well, violent, bloody acts of terrorism, and outlandish propaganda works for the Pals, so what's the difference?

How long should the Palestinians fight for what they perceive as their homeland? 100 years? 200 years? 1,000 years? Until all of the Palestinians are dead from the fighting? How long should the Pals drag their families, women and children, through such violent existences?

Out of the goodness of their hearts eh?Depends. You would have to ignore the other 30 countries that have no oil in which the US provides aid in 2010 alone.
"Aid appears to have established as a priority the importance of influencing domestic policy in the recipient countries"

(http://www.globalissues.org/article...foreignpolicytooltoaidthedonornottherecipient)As shown throughout this web site (and hundreds of others) one of the root causes of poverty lies in the powerful nations that have formulated most of the trade and aid policies today, which are more to do with maintaining dependency on industrialized nations, providing sources of cheap labor and cheaper goods for populations back home and increasing personal wealth, and maintaining power over others in various ways. As mentioned in the structural adjustment section, so-called lending and development schemes have done little to help poorer nations progress.

No, no country operates that way, what is done is always in the best perceived interest of said country, every country in the world with foreign policies.
But as a fact the American Citizen, gives more in personnel donations around the world than any other country in the world, any 3 countries, and all of the Muslim countries combined during the India Ocean Tsunami in 2004.
I can well believe that, Americans are a generous people. Now when are one of those folk going to get into the White House?
Must have been his wife's nagging.They did, George, sent massive U.S. aid to the reagon.
