The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    @T. Gray

    Again, you ignore the history. Israel has peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, and has been negotiating lately with the Palestinian Authority (or didn't you know that??) and Syria. Oh, and the future Israelis accepted the UN Partition Plan of 1947, while the Palestinians didn't.

    T. Gray, go and read some history, then try again. And while you're at it, try to come up with a better excuse why Hamas shouldn't recognize and negotiate with Israel when the Palestinian Authority already has.
