I'm not sure that anyone could reasonably expect a resolution on a message board for the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. For those who are interested - like myself - I think the best that can be hoped for is that someone who is completely against your position might seriously consider for even the briefest moment something you have said.

For what it's worth, I have read all of blankall's opinions with interest and a critical eye (I mention him specifically because he is who I have responded to most often). I disagree with him on quite a few fundamental things, but he responds rationally and vehemently with which I have absolutely no problem.

Anyway, it's a terrible situation, and we partisans are lucky that we get to argue on a message board about such things without shedding blood while doing so.
