You've never brought up civil rights for Palestinians anywhere else in the mideast before, whether Lebanon or inside the territories.

So why now?

Also...

Are you NOW attempting to argue that the best option for Palestinians is to live in Israel, where their rights will be better protected than anywhere else in the mideast?
