Reply #37: no change of topic...just curious

[pelsar]

if you would like we can go back to the previous one...i was just curious about your opinion...you can ask me anything about the conflict and i wont "flinch" or avoid it...

so if you have the same integrety i will ask again (and will answer yours after)

why do you think the palestinains didnt take advantage of israel leaving gaza and start working on improving their own society?

what "things in place" were missing?...the actual coordination of forces during the pullout was worked out before hand to prevent any misunderstandings.

and in case it comes up again as it does for some reason or another every so often.....if i dont answer your question sufficiently, just clarify and ask again. If you think i'm avoiding it, mention that and i will understand that i didnt answer the point you were after.

if you think i've changed the topic for some nefarious reason mention it, and tell me what part i didnt answer, and i'll do my best to answer it.

heres what i think is a brilliant explanation of why only unilateral actions will work:

This research suggests that disputants may sometimes find it easier to make a particular concession unilaterally, on the grounds that it serves their self-interest, than to make the same concession in the context of bilateral negotiation.
