This discussion didn't quite fit in the military jokes section...
I won't comment this topic much (even if I have my own opinions on this matter)...
But I have worked for 6 months in South Lebanon so I have learned that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has to sides..
I don't support the Palestinian acts of terror, but I don't support many of the methods Israel uses against the Palestinians either.
(a lot of these methods never reaches the media...)
This is an evil circle.
The more acts of terror the Palestinians conducts, the harder the Israelis responds, and more terrorist acts will follow..
But we must remember that what we call terrorist acts is one of the only way the Palestinians can do "war" against Israel.
I know that many men/women, both Palestinians and Israelis, at our age doesn't support this conflict at all.
So Arafat and Sharon has to realize that violence will not lead anywhere, and they have to get back to the negotiation table, with or without UN's aid!
UNIFIL, United Forces Interim Forces in Lebanon, was created in 1978..
That's 26 years ago. (Interim????)
Violence has led to nothing good down there.
