In other words, like pseudo intellectual twits everywhere and in every time. The thugs flattered the egos and catered to the prejudices of these 12 self appointed busy bodies so of course they rush back to the US to spew the thugs propaganda. Just the latest example of the "Fellow Traveler ism" displayed by so called "Intellectuals" for Stalin's Russia, Mao's China, Castro's Cuba and Ho Chi Min's Vietnam.

But the walls route expands Israels territory considerably in key areas. It takes in the entire city of Jerusalem, including those sections that are historically PalestinianThat's funny! When did the "Palestinians" historically live in Jerusalem?

But most of the world ignores this little fact.Because that would interfere with the Jew hating.

How does one visit "palestine"?First, enter the mind of a liberal. Not only are they difficult to find, they're very small.

Very long winded to reach a very simplistic solution. When he says "everyone knows the parameters of a just solution, what the shape of a fair settlement would be", just who is he speaking of? The whole article reads like a reason to avoid critical thinking about the nature of the conflict. Yes, everyone knows what the parameters should look like, but the reason the don't come about isn't because of Israel's security fence, or American tax dollars, etc. It is because, simply, the Palestinian want it to look that way BEFORE they exhibit any semblance of peaceful intentions, social organization, etc.
In other words, the Palestinians want Israel to do XYZ first, before they do anything to build trust with Israel to show that doing such would result in peace, security, and and end to incitement.
It just doesn't work that way.
His meetings with Christians doesn't give him a real picture of what "Palestine" is like, does it?
To: SJackson
A lot of words. Writing th words made him feel as if there was actual accomplishment to his wasted effort.

Officially, we were a delegation from Churches for Middle East Peace, a noble but desperately underfunded Washington group created to represent mainstream Christian churches on a vital issue. This right off the bat was enough to make me very skeptical about anything I read further on.

To read a good article on Islam-Mecca-The Whore of Babylon go to yourarmstoisrael.org and select "sermon notes" and pull up "The Final End Time Beast". Print and save for future reference.

""In retrospect, it may be that these hopes, which glowed so brightly among the Israeli Left and center and among virtually all Palestinians,""
"Virtually all"
Jumped the shark right there. A "Conservative" spouting and mimicking Marxist platitudes. Anti-semitism does strange things.

And also these self-implied underfunded nobodies got an interview with President Assad?
They are probably funded by a Syrian backed NGO.

Nailed it Shermy. Just nailed it. Been weird to watch how it has twisted some of the people supposedly on our side. You get virtually the same talking points from people that are supposedly bitter political foes. The only logical answer is what you say, it just a common hate for Jews that unites them
