In reply to the discussion: I am NOT leaving DU... [View all]Haggard Celine
(16,894 posts)Some people on DU are very dug-in to their opinions on this conflict. I can see both sides of it, although I lean toward Israel's point of view. But I've been staying out of most of those threads and I don't like it that some DUers are at each other's throats. We don't have any say in what's going on over there. We shouldn't let it tie us in knots. I also like PCIntern's posts and I want him/her to stay here as long as he/she wants.
What I'd like to see happen is for Israeli and Palestinian leaders to be locked in a room together and not getting out until they hammer out an agreement. Those are the people who are responsible for all of this. I don't think common Israelis and Palestinians are bad people. I think they have horrible leadership. We need new leadership in Israel and Palestine who can turn the temperature down.
