before ABC calls me a pro-palestinian anti-semite, I'd like to say that knowing both pro-israeli and pro-palestinian people, I don't doubt that there will ever be peace in the middle east, because of the very fact that people on both sides label everyone else a terrorist.

There will always be people who will refuse to acknowledge Israel as a soveirgn state. There is no possible way any amount of bombs any combination of words and any mixture of naurcotics will sway them to accept and trust Jewish people. I know someone who fucking boycotted any movie made by a Jew, and is constantly ranting on and on about Jewish conspiracies. This is just the way the way they were raised and the thinking that has been engrained into there narrow perspectives.

The jewish friends I know will never ever, trust palestinian for this reason. They will never ever consider them as anything but terrorist trying to abolish israel. and probably rightfully so. Again there is no amount of evidence that will get these people to trust palestinians or see them as anything but terrorists.

So I always find it the slightest bit refereshing to see someone trying to get a cease fire, and why I'm a little angsty about a picture of Kofi Annan shaking hands with a leader of group at war as sign that their bedfellows. Since it is his job to meet people and shake hands and try to talk them out of blowing shit up, especially if it's 4 of his UN observers.

But you know endless bloodshed of innocent civilians both israeli and lebanese under the pretense of collateral damage is cool too.
