Reply #261: Good catch, you're right. But is it more moral to maintain the occupation...

...or bring about more war and casualties? How does someone purporting to be pro-peace support moves that will surely bring on war and devastation? I believe maintaining the occupation (as bad as that is for Israel as I explained) is more moral than bringing on more war and thousands of dead civilians.

The article explicitly mentioned 'state'. And the article you cite is from one Khaled Amayreh who has recently written gems like this...

Khalid Amayreh – Castro is right, so is Helen Thomas | Sabbah Report
Thank you, Hamas ~ by Khalid Amayreh | Occupied Palestine

He blogs at:

NAZIONISM – Exposing Israel

What a credible source on the 60 percent offer for statehood, Violet. I'm sure the ISM, FreeGazaMovement, and BDS bigots all love Amayreh as well. ElectronicIntifada sure does.

Okay, I now admit you've given credit to Israel for several things. However, to my knowledge you haven't criticized either Arafat or Abbas for rejecting peace offers without making credible counter-proposals in return. I can only assume that it's your opinion all the blame goes to Israel, none on the PA.
