Glad to see you recognize that.

So if the PA is inextricably linked with the terrorist groups, the Israelis

Absolutely. I have no issue with using the appropriate tactics, however violent, whether its the Tamil Tigers, the IRA, Hamas or any other organisation. Its what they are doing to the rest of the community and the long term chance of peace as a result that I have issues with. Watching an Arab women get shot in her hallway while the Israelis assult the house and then refusing her any medical aid while her family watches her die, will never ever be right.

I used to be very pro-Israeli but now I'm very ambivalent at their tactics and don't hold much hope for a long term solution.
