YI is just the latest in a long line of seemingly reasonable people who are completely brainwashed by propaganda. Brainwashed not because they can't see some of the points of the other side, but because they ABSOLUTELY ARE UNWILLING TO CONSIDER the notion that the Arabs in "Palestine" are doing wrong, and that the Arab nations, for their own reasons, made a mistake in dealing with Israel.

He harps on UN 242, without acknowledging that like any legal document, if has a ton of grey areas and room for interpretation.

He ignore things like intent, or the extent of Palestinian Arab lies, (ie - "the trojan horse," the jenin "massacre" etc.) because he needs to argue - well some Israelis lie too!

Again...I don't think any Israeli believes that Israeli policy is perfect, or that Israel does not bare some blame for the violence and tragedy that now befals the Arabs of palestine.

But, the bottom line is that it is THEY who make their own choices.

Are Arabs children who are not responsible for their own actions and need Israel to take care of them and coddle them?

Do they not consider the possible repruccussions to their actions, for example suicide bombings.

Do they believe that someone else will take care of them, and that they can let their own leaders rob and kill them and things will get better by blaming things on Israel.

Looks like a culture of intellectual cowardice.
