Israeli guard: "Step into the buffer zone please, strip down to your underwear, and approach the body scanner." <Scanning noise> Israeli guard: "This one's clean....he can pass through to the end of the buffer zone! Get dressed." Or maybe it will be like "Total Recall" when Arnold runs through the airport with the big high-tech body scanner which can see what people are carrying . I wonder if this will do any good at all. Seems like he is still grasping at straws and not tackling the real issue which is to withdrawal to pre-1967 borders. I guess a buffer zone is different from a checkpoint? It's a checkpoint with obstacles. I don't know....I don't get it. I guess it's just another zone to shoot Palestinians in. It just isn't getting any better...and it shows.
I thought the buffer zone was the distance between Jerry and his relatives...............aw crap, this isnt the Seinfeld thread
F.D. Khan If there weren't any bombings, there would be no need for checkpoints.. call me what you want if it raises your self-esteem. I loved being attacked for defending Israel's position, BRING IT ON!!
If Israel gave the Palestinians a country there wouldn't be any bombings. This situation isn't as simple as "if he didn't do it, I wouldn't have done it".
It might not be that simple but it would help the Palestinian's cause... why blow yourself up? Not only do you die, but in turn, checkpoints become a necessity.
Because you've been raised in a refugee camp with and half the members in your family have been either killed or you've never seen. Because your kids cry to you about hunger and thirst but you have no job because you can't get out of your city. Because you've been lied to about the Peace Process from all sides.
Still.. does this justify blowing yourself up? No! Kids might not be as hungry if they didn't spend all their time in the streets rather than being in school, learning how to better the land they live in. Instead, they throw rocks and molotov cocktails. Boy, obviously you are right about why the suicide bombers do what they do.. but still, there is no justification for taking your own life and murdering at the same time. As I said before, other Arab countries should be sending in food and water not weapons.
boy: Every Israeli PM in the last decade has offered to give the Palestinians a state of their own; it's amazing how you keep conveniently forgetting that fact. Your buddies keep turning down the offer, because that isn't their real goal. They will not stop until they have either destroyed Israel or martyred themselves. That is the hard truth. It is also why the Palestinians don't have a state right now.
