The world has become desensitized. Maybe the Arabs can start taking the Jews away in trains now.

Cardinal, you know FR posting drops on the weekends, and right now it's almost 9 a.m. in California, for instance.

And I'll never forget last year. For a while there were daily terrorist bombing, sometimes two. I lost count after awhile, and was numbed to the point of thinking, "Oh that's better, only 8 Israelis were killed this time as opposed to the last attack when 15 Israelis were killed....". And that was so pathetic, but it went on day after day.

[Terriergal]

Don't worry, we still remember. like Xjones said it's the weekend, but we still remember even if we're not as verbose. How many times can we say the same thing over and over. It's discouraging. By now we want someone to take some action rather than just talk. :-(

[Terriergal]

The media on the other hand probably has forgotten.

There have been dozens and dozens of these threads since even just last year. We come on, we all say essentially the same thing and call for the same solutions, solutions that will not ever be effected by the leaders in the U.S. or Israel. So what's the point of coming on and posting the same thing for the 200th time? The solution is still the same and the solution is still unacceptable to the leaders of the U.S. and Israel (and maybe to their general populations as well). As long as the leaders (and the populations, perhaps) believe that the solution to this matter will result in a worse situation that problem itself, you will just continue to get this steady bleed. And pretty soon we'll just ignore it like anything else that seems normal and regular in our daily lives.
