No, they should try something else. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #16
Like what? Do tell! shira Nov 2012 #20
proximity talks(the indirect negotiation method Israel used with the PLO once)might be an option Ken Burch Nov 2012 #22

It is wild to think that a person can actually believe the things you have typed here oberliner Nov 2012 #4
You think. libodem believes or feels. aranthus Nov 2012 #10
erm... Shaktimaan Nov 2012 #7
I'm glad Team Israel: America Division™ finally caught on. Scootaloo Nov 2012 #29
I'm sorry? np Shaktimaan Nov 2012 #30
Ken Burch outlines it pretty well above n/t Scootaloo Nov 2012 #31
That's a good impression oberliner Nov 2012 #8
Operation Pillar of Defense might make that trip a bit risky azurnoir Nov 2012 #12
Count me out, King_David Nov 2012 #23
Isn't Noam Chomsky a Gay Jew? oberliner Nov 2012 #24
Maybe, King_David Nov 2012 #25
No, you would have to be useful for that moniker to fit, Dave Scootaloo Nov 2012 #28
Mmmm , you don't even know me but yet your comfortable calling me an "Idiot " King_David Nov 2012 #33
And you know Noam Chomsky so well? n/t Scootaloo Nov 2012 #36
You called me an idiot and I said Hamas considers Chomsky a "useful Idiot" King_David Nov 2012 #37
I would think most people who accuse Noam Chomsky of supporting Hamas are pretty dim, yeah. Scootaloo Nov 2012 #38
Ok thanks for the clarification, King_David Nov 2012 #39
'accuse Noam Chomsky of supporting Hamas ' King_David Nov 2012 #40
I did re-read it, thanks. Scootaloo Nov 2012 #41
Guess you missed the part where I said Hamas Considers him, not that I consider him ? nt King_David Nov 2012 #42
So you're privy to the inner opinions of Hamas, too? Scootaloo Nov 2012 #43
Chomsky is Jewish, but he's not gay(not that the latter detail matters at all, actually). Ken Burch Nov 2012 #27
It would matter to Hamas though. nt King_David Nov 2012 #34
