Abdullah's bottom line: The Arab world will take care of the

terrorists if we will just confront the core problem and solve it: Israel/Palestine. He says it is THE most important problem to Iraqis, to everyone. Why can't the US realize this and take hold of it?

1. Seems pretty basic to me, but...

All the progressives here at the DU can't even realize this. That's why Israel/Palestine has it's own forum, the subject's too hot to handle.

2. yeah, ya gotta be careful

i said something unflattering about sharon the other day here, and somebody posted the most god awful sick porn image i've ever seen anywhere. it shows the level of devotion to the israeli cause, and the level of hatred. opinions are so hot, we literally can't discuss them here. and if you go to I/P forums, it's all screaming.

It all boils down to human rights.

4. You actually posted something negative about Sharon?...

You must be anti-semitic, you Nazi! (sarcasm off). 500, no, scratch that, 5,000 wild horses couldn't drag me into that forum. My mouse pulls in it tail and heads for the nearest dark place to hide in if I even go near it.

I have spoken with quite a few aware Israeli travelers that don't like him.

7. Likudniks in Israel and Freepers in the US are being whipped up by NeoCons

Bush and Sharon use simliar right-wing fanatical religious hatred for votes and cover for their crimes. Even under the conditions of suicide bombings and a major war, Israelis still brought 100,000 to the streets of Tel Aviv to stop the violence.

This is the Straussian Neo-Con philosopy, and it's scary how easy it is to frenzy a mob of people into supporting you, and intimidate everyone else to remain silent.

8. I agree but how to solve the core problem?

One thing is for sure - Bush isn't going to do it.
