Do not get me wrong, the Palestinians are getting the short end of the stick (not as bad as Pallywood would have you believe, but still). Back before the first intifada I was feeling sorry for them. But when a limited self governing was suggested, leading to their own state, I thought they would take this oppurtunity to show they could be responsible neighbors and lead to a softening of Isreali positions. Instead, the Palestinians thought that Isreal gave an inch, lets go nuts and see if we can't create a situation in which they are all killed, and we take everything. It played perfectly into what the Isreali hard-liners had said would happen if you dealt with Palestinians. ( who was it who said the Palestinians never miss an oppurtunity to miss an oppurtunity?). There are those here who will say "of course the Palestinians didn't negotiate, it's all theirs, and this is war!" I can understand this position. But if it is war, don't cry a river when the other side shoots back! (Like the Japanese "oh, the Americans bombed us back! How unfair!" Seriously? Do you not understand how war works? If you want to declare war against someone who does not fight back, declare war on bunnies)
