Israel's gift to a terrorized world

[Herschel]

The BBC recently invited me to a panel discussion on the subject "Is Israel Losing Its Soul?" Cynics can be forgiven for noting a certain improvement in the network's attitude toward Israel, by assuming that Israel still has a soul to lose. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the debate, but if I had participated, here's what I would have said:

"Before dissecting the flawed soul of Israel, I'd suggest we discuss the collective soul of Palestine and, by extension, of the Arab world. Israel, after all, was ready to become the first country in history to voluntarily withdraw from its historic heartland and share sovereignty over its capital city. By contrast, Palestinian society has become prisoner of a death cult that celebrates mass murderers as religious martyrs and educational role models. And, unlike the Israeli soul, which is torn over the price we must pay for self-preservation, the Palestinian soul shows few signs of remorse for its culture of national suicide."

An interesting piece. I will leave it at that.

1. Isn't this a bit

spiteful and stereotypical?

Does it not ignore a myriad of contributing factors?

2. But can you honestly say

that it is inaccurate?

3. Yeah it's really that simple I guess

Israel = good, Palestine = bad

Maybe Israel will have to make the tough decision to ethnically cleanse the bad people from their historic homeland. What a terrible bind for Israel to be put in...

4. Excuse me...

you have a Kerry avatar. Have you read his positions on the ME?

5. In other words

you can't and only reply with sarcasm to mask that. Right? (Or did you just forget to actually add content?)
