Yes, an ridiculously impossible suggestion. That's what makes the Palestinian strategy so futile.

Mantra, I think the Palestinians will ultimately lose everything with their continued armed struggle. They cannot hope to succeed in their mission to annihilate Israel, which as a nuclear state is indestructible short of total devastation of the Middle East.

These are two righteous causes that cannot be resolved by violent means.

I believe what the Palestinians need are bridge-builder leaders, with enough conviction, courage and compassion to persist with a non-violent agenda despite the possibility of provocation and assault - Leaders who love their people more than the egocentric prospect of martyrdom (with all its selfish rewards) rising from under the dead bodies of their fellow citizens and the rubble of ignominious defeat.

Yadda,

When you look at that picture, try to imagine that was someone's home... kids were perhaps playing... or maybe an entire family gathered together to eat a meal... real people, with real lifes, with real aspirations, with hopes that one day they'd be liberated from the military rule that every single one of them has had over his neck since the day he was born, except for the very few elderly who were still young when they became occupied... until it was bombed, yes bombed like Bali was bombed, like London was bombed, like Madrid was bombed, into smithereens. Try to feel the same when you look at that mangled mess of concrete and steel as you feel when you looked at the WTC, London, Madrid or Bali sites.... I know you cannot. In your twisted and hateful mind one group are real human beings, and the other are sub-human.... You have surrendered yourself to the Nazi-ideology of de-humanising the "other", so that dealing with their deaths is so much simpler.

You are a sad sad person, and I pity you.

Muslims are working tirelessly to make themselves into the 'other', parading their 'difference', protesting their destiny to rule all. They say they  'love death' like we love life, for Fusch's sake. In the process they have made themselves into the exotic, primitive, uncotrolled other.  A mass of angry, incohate 'others'. For us, among us, this behaviour is either anti-social or pathological, often both.

Hence the disdain for and incomprehension in the face of this particular set of 'others;, the Muslim mob.

Its a 'scriptural' term abu.


2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.





Daniel 12:1
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.


Matthew 13:36
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41  The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
