Reply #16: Then the best way to prevent war is to do what they want

[Ken Burch]

And give the Palestinians the right to self-determination(which MUST include the acceptance of the creation of a Palestinian state WITHOUT Israeli interference).

BTW, the statement that "chances are like 99% that things remain about the same in Egypt or get worse, with a new boss in charge" is actually a totally meaningless statement.

Those "chances" are nothing more than YOUR personal opinion-an uninformed opinion, one that has consistently refused to acknowledge that what is happening in Egypt right now is spontaneous, is driven by grass-roots support for democracy(and NOT by "The Muslim Brotherhood", a group that has had little if any involvement in the events at Tahrir Square or those in Alexandria), and is not concerned, or at least not much concerned, with Israel at all.

But then, you have no interest in understanding the ACTUAL situation in Egypt, OR in acknowledging the reality that the people of the Arab world are now liberating themselves(and thus undermining Israel's "the Only Democracy In The Middle East" narrative), or of achieving peace at all. Your agenda, in discussing the events in Egypt AND Tunisia, has been solely

1)to spread paranoia about "what this means for Israel";

2)to deny that the Arab people and the Arab world are capable of political reform and self-emancipation;

3)to make a bitter end case for all-out support of Mubarak AGAINST not only his own people but, in the end, against reality...the reality that the tyrant's day is done and that nothing at all can save him(to say nothing of the fact that leaving him in power could NEVER lead to the democratization of Egypt, because the man has spent his entire career doing all he could to PREVENT Egypt from ever becoming a democracy).
