reffering to the pictures of children with guns: As i can recall quitte a few americans too teach their children at young age how to work with guns (especially the southern states).
The whole problem of this palestinian/israel situation is as follows:
An independant Palestinian organisation attacks an israeli settlement or places a bomb (maybe one of the 40 active palestininian organisations) They kill people and the word 'palestinians' is used. Does that mean that every single palestine person was behind those attacks and was in favor of them? NO! Just a very small percentage of the population who happens to be Palestine.
What you then get is israel retaliating (as usual ). Again creating anger and hate among the palestinian people who perhaps where not in favor of terrorism at all! And you get another bomb placing etc.etc.etc.
My frustration concerning Israeli politics is that israel has ONE government/organisation and ONE Leader. If the leader says 'no attack' there will be no attack. On the palestinian side it's completely different you have 40 different organisations (some terrorist some peacefull) and 40 different leader. Although arafat is seen as the main leader he is NOT! He only controls his own organisation PLO. Hamas and Jihad (one of the most powerfull and violent groups) will not listen to arafat in any way.
My point: Israel is the one who controls the situation. If israel decides one time not to retaliate the circle of violence is broken. The problem is the palestinians cannot make such a decision: arafat can say stop but that won't mean anything to the 39 other organisations. Israel should stop retaliating and start negotiating because that is the only and i mean really the ONLY solution to this problem ever. I am pretty sure that some day israel is not goonna be the strongest anymore and the'll be having a hard time surviving.
