Surely within its context you could have picked that up?
You assume that i am deliberately lying, rather than assuming that i am asking the question because i truly could not understand, thus implying that your mistake was fatal, in that the sense you meant was not decipherable, which it was not.
You may worry about my issues (cheers for that), but your assumption says a lot about you, such as avoiding blame, and blaming others. Something you are continually doing in the Israel debate, where despite all the evidence you seem unable to understand why the Palestinians are upset at the invasion of the Israelis, and their persistant racism against them on what they consider to be their home, (which is fair enough as they were born there).
Furthermore you seem unwilling to make any compromise, even to the point of refusing to consider the inevitable one-state solution which both sides have caused through their continual intransigence.
One day maybe you will see the other side and see the reasons why the Palestinians feel so oppressed, and maybe even see that you would do the same in their position if your land was invaded by an outside force. Until that day you will continue to see a conspiracy against the Israelis (a conspiracy needs a step of faith, the same as many religions), and you will thus continue the oppression of the Palestinians which is so evident to everyone else here.
You insist that the Palestinians have nothing to complain about, but then try and fudge what the Israelis do by bringing some ridiculous historical precedent in which has no relevance when compared to the oppression happening NOW.
On a basic HUMAN level please try and empathise with a human who has been pushed into a small corner of his land by an invading force, and who refuses to cooperate with them because he believes that they should not be there. They take his land without permission, and his only recourse without betraying his beliefs is a suicide bombing.
You would do the same if your religion and land was oppressed in this way, whilst the rest of the world leaves you to your doom.
It is with no small amount of sadness that I point out that the Israelis intransigence will at the least lead to a one-state solution, and at the worst could lead to a desperate muslim leading a desperate nulear attack. This is what happens if you corner people on their own land. And it IS their land because a person's homeland is where they were born. You have one land with 2 people on it, and despite your conviction that they have equality of opportunity, it doesn't look like it from the outside, indeed it looks like the Israelis seeing how much they can oppress the Palestinians until the US says stop. If only they had the balls enough to do so.
