You've framed this in a way that is more nuanced that the voices on either side honestly usually do. I have criticized Israel for many things in the past and present mostly because I believe that they often undermine their own cause by taking fair retaliation a step too far and do very little to denounce the crazy voices in their own ranks. Yes, the world pays too much attention to this compared to other causes, but Israel often HANDS them material, and that destroys international consensus I think they otherwise could build to support their cause. You're right about Palestinian leadership and it's tragic, but unfortunately at this juncture I don't see leadership on either side that is serious about wanting peace. Unfortunately the current dynamic serves both sides politically, and that's a real shame. ScottAUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713891421680236439noreply@blogger.com
