    If they could just find a way to educate these people that there is no heaven - oh wait, the Israelis believe in heaven too. The key is communication and education, sadly there is no time for that in between exchanging weapons fire. Michael :-)

        well, both sides are wrong, but we've seen that talking to arafat is like talking to a wall. I don't beleive any more in the peace. He is declaring "no fire" but the bombers continue. I beleive those assfuckers bombers are getting their "moral" from arafat, that is - he is pushing them to do so, and they have nothing to lose anyway. I beleive that if we threaten them that their family's house will be bombed after a bomber commit suicide, than maybe some of those bombers will think twice before they do what they do. I dont tend to be smart then anybody, but obviously the talking way is not the solution. We are talking about deeply dipressed people who have nothing to lose anyway, and they beleive that when they bomb us they go to heaven with 70 virgins. so what can we do?! another possible thing to do is bury the bodies with a pig skin and then the terrorists "will go to hell" but its not practical cause we got religion and its against the law etc blah blah. (also we SHOULD NOT return the bodies to them!) - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

I know one thing about death, our bodies stay here and rot. (Or in the case of suicide bombers, get swept up by the janitor). 70 virgins ain't going to be much use to me without a body? And what so special about virgins anyway? I prefer experience myself :-D Michael :-)

Yes, it is mis-education and not religion which is the true cause of most of the world's problems. I'm just glad and lucky to have had the chance to be educated and taught to think for myself. I wish more of the worlds population could get the opportunity. Michael :-)

                  Yeh. Personally , I dont feel any hatred for the palestinians or arabs in general. My family had once an arab friend, and it was just cool. If I walk in the street and see arabs, I am not scared or point at them or something like them. I do feel hatred for those suiciders. My opionions are not extreme at all comparing to others I talk with. I believe we can get to an agreement, but first we got to understand them. They're different, that's obvious, but different is good! what if all the people was the same? - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

                        You're right too, but are we the only one? We were sentenced to death by those nazis , and now we finally have our own country. We can get to an agreement, and the two sides may live together. It's just a question of understanding them. The problem is that they want the whole pie. - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

                            Interesting perspective. Surely Sharon has self defence (if a little extreme) has an excuse. The Jews weren't much of a threat to Hitler apart from in his own head. Bottom line, a lot of people need to hang their heads in shame for their involvment in the Middle East problem. It's easy to place the blame, what the world need is somebody bold enough to step forward and make a difference. Michael :-)

                                          well forget about the pigskin. I don't tend to say its the solution or anything. But its obvious that talking is not the solution. I don't know what to do and my government dont either - and that's the problem. its a tough situation , and I dont envy Sharon or anybody else. It's easy to talk from outside. - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

                                          I have a great admiration for Rabin because he had the courage to talk and to seek a way out of the spiral of violence. Sharon is just reaping the results of his own actions. It is indeed easy to talk from the outside but then again we can talk without much emotional problems. Do you really think that waging war on the Palestinians like Sharon is doing now will solve the situation ?
