It does not cut them off from anything major, and it is, by far, better than nothing. Israel could destroy them at will, but is rational enough to provide a Diplomatic process. Please do not give me such a clearly biased website. I will throw 10 zionist websites that say that all the facts there are false at you. The UN are a bunch of biased idiots. They do not control the world, and have never affected the region. Heartless? Since when does humanity as a whole have a heart? Every nation in the world was conquered somehow by someone.
I posted 3 links on the previous page including one from the BBC. All you need to do is enter "History of Israel" into google, no looking for political bias, all this stuff is well reported fact.
If you don't want to accept fact when it's presented, don't ask for it. It was hardly likely to sway your opinion anyway....
If it is not "ok", why aren't you protesting against the British in Ireland, the Americans in the US, and so on?
Good luck with that Some things are just not worth protesting, since they won't turn around. Nothing can be done about whatever violence was in Israel over 50 years ago, or about European colonization of America... we must look at the situation as it is now, not blame the far past for it.
Because this is a discussion about Arafat. If you would care to have a discussion on the treatment of Native Americans or the history of the Anglo/Irish problem in a seperate thread then I'm sure our views would condemn the perpetrators in much the same way.
Ahahahahahahahahah!!!! <falls off his chair in absolute fucking hysterics after realising the historical importants that all parties in the middle east place in today's conflict is ....irrelevant> Go join Treehouse playing with the traffic-you crazy dog!

I wouldn't worry about it, BraveSirRubin seems to follow the same fanatical line of thinking that believes the world was created around 8,000BC. These people are nut cases....

In an ideal world the Palestinians would be left to sort there own affairs out but this is as likely Treehouse/Matthew/etc doing anything remotely useful for society other than spout shite. I wouldn't be suprised if the IDF moved back into the West Bank and Gaza, killed shit loads more people, destroyed what little infrastructure there is left, then moved out leaving the Palestinians to a grave yard. We all know what wankers they are don't we....http://www.cmaq.net/fr/node.php?id=16398 There's always hope though....apparently.
