It's amazing how polarizing and emotionally engaging this conflict (not just the immediate one, but the longstanding one) really is. You can peruse all sorts of forums and comments pages under news articles, and the speed with which reasoned argument devolves into emotional mudslinging is staggering. I don't think anyone is immune to it, and its inevitable that, if you hang around the debate long enough, you're going to say something you wouldn't if you were thinking with a cool head - myself included. No wonder there's no end in sight to the conflict. Can you imagine the fury those directly involved must experience? Very very hard to put that aside.
Maybe we should have a ceasefire in this thread and a cooling off period...
