Grex agora47 Conference

resp:47 - I have always thought that Golda Meir quote really does say a 
lot about why there isnt peace in the middle east. It really 
illustrates to me how some Israelis feel. They feel that Palestinians 
are so filled with hate that they would put their children in harms way 
rather than live side by side with Israel. There is a strong 
implication that Palestinians are generally a hateful people. It also 
puts *all* the blame for the situation onto the shoulders of the 
Palestinians. Are Israelis whose children are in the military and in 
harms way accused of hating the Palestinians more than they love their 
children? 

Think about how offensive it would be if some Iraqi said that Americans 
hate Iraqis more than we love our children. I mean, why else would we 
send our children there to die?
