They've got to consider whether getting that buffer is worth the antagonism of the other party.”</i><br /><br />and<br /><br /><i>“The Palestinians are going to have to <b>make a calculation</b>: Are we going to <b>fight for every inch</b> of that '67 border or, given the fact that 40 years have now passed, and new realities have taken place on the ground, do we take a deal that may not perfectly align with the '67 boundaries?”</i><br /><br />But I like the term Moral Egalitarianism, where everyone is morally equal compared to one another, no matter what their actions, history, methods, or reasons. <br /><br />That seems to be what happens every time someone compares Israel defending itself to Hamas attacks on civilians, or calls for a "Two-State Solution" and a removal of Jews from their homes.<br /><br />Actually it's not very egalitarian at all as the onus is still placed on Israel.<br /><br />Hmmm.JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-83001950247889245682009-09-24T04:09:21.947+03:002009-09-24T04:09:21.947+03:00Do you have a special recipe for waffles in the su...Do you have a special recipe for waffles in the succa?<br />Are they with syrup? Or are they piled hi with icecream?<br /><br />Or maybe you just make a sorta pancake with a sauce of musroom, leeks, mushroom soup (to make it saucie) & seasonings ala canapé!Neshamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326762185596512130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-74239872702128304192009-09-24T03:33:20.228+03:002009-09-24T03:33:20.228+03:00Moral relativism.

Israelis living east of the Green Line are revananters. Its sounds better than settler!NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.com
