I can only agree. I was rampant pro-Israel while I was high school and while I read at my old university. The primary reason for this was how much I despised the pro-Palestinian side, their arguments and their general obnoxiousness. But some year later, at the moment when the Lebanon invasion happened, I lost any respect I had for Israel, which lead me look more objective on the settlements, and since then no matter how much I think the Palestinians are a bunch of morons, I have come to the conclusion, that Tel Aviv not Ramallah are the primary reason that we don't see a peace today.

I actually had a pretty similar evolution - actually, I still kinda defended Israel during the invasion of Lebanon and even the Gaza one. What really cut it for me was the continued colonization process, since there it just can't be defended under any rationale based on Israel's safety, and just prove the government doesn't give a sh*t about peace.

I might take his advice if you don't calm down. I mean, really.

What the hell are you talking about?

You're always so worked up about something. I mean, I largely agree with you but I just imagine you shouting all the time.

So I'm angry? I had no idea, thanks for telling me. And anyway, I almost never use full caps (OK, I did with Inks a couple days ago, but this was a cheerful yelling, not an angered one) so I really don't see why you're singling me out.
