Actually I don't get it. While not as bad as KikI, your writing is quite often very difficult to understand. Plus you seem to assume I follow Isreal's news more than casually. You are aware that these current events are not really getting much US media attention, right? I don't think Bush even said a word about Israel (other than saying Hamas best recognize) in his State of the Union.
So let's be clear. Are you saying the Jews in Gaza are a bunch of terrorists in the making? Is how they got there irrelevant? Is this violence primarily Settlers against IDF? Does "pulled the IDF" mean the army retreated cuz it was getting too violent? What makes you think they cannot get bulldozers out there? Does the IDF Bulldozer Brigade just not have the funds it did 2 years ago - no wait, they're disbanded aren't they? I guess it would be a lot cheaper to just go in and kick asses, huh?
The government of Israel has made plenty of mistakes which have contributed to the hatred and antisemitism in that region. If that's one-dimensional "moral equivalency" then fine, call me a one-dimensional moral equivalist! Oh boo hoo, whatever shall I do.
It seems to me however, that a blatant refusal to ever assign any fault to the Israeli government is a MUCH more one dimensional attitude. The refusal to entertain the thought that extremely violent police action might not be the most effective control is pretty one-dimensional. But whatever, I'm sure you have such a deeper understanding of human nature, as studied as you are on Middle Eastern affairs. IF you deign to answer any of my questions, oh great sage of all things Middle Eastern, could you please be sure to put it in terms the "peanut gallery" can understand. Maybe even proofread it before you post to make sure you are being clear and multidimensional?
