veritas considers a hot-spot of international tensions

Lemme think about this...

Country A wishes to live in peace. It permits those of different religions and ethnicities to own property, vote, hold office, run businesses, etc., within its borders. It has never initiated an aggressive attack on a neighbor (it has acted pre-emptively in its own self-defense on a few occasions). Oh, and it is small, very small, and has no oil wealth.

Members of a group we shall call B, consisting of numerous countries, peoples, and "authorities" have attacked Country A with national armies several times. B's nation members refuse free transit of third-nations' citizens who have been in Country A. All regularly accuse Country A of everything from the Lindbergh kidnapping to, probably, responsibility for global warming and poor TV reception. Group B also regularly acts on certain maniacal motivations and slips its people into the bedrooms of A's sleeping children, into their elementary schools, into wedding celebrations and birthday parties to murder innocent babes and mothers and cripple survivors with rat-poisoned shrapnel. Oh -- often in the name of religion, too.

So, then: the common ground from which Israel is to start negotiations is---?

Hmmm... And a hunfdred years ago amidst those B's an army of C's occupants landed and then said: "Hey, A's of all the world, come here to bring up your up your own country!" abd suppressed B's by arms. A's came there, and here is the source opf B's hostility. And when there was enough A's in their new occupation, C provided independence for them.

Israel? -- Not only. Kosovo too. Maybe California tomorrow. Please try to understand these evil B's. And, at last, may be some powerful D punishes C for this evil by bombing its main cities down?
