The Palestinians and their willing allies in the MSM have always insisted that Israel retreat to the pre-1967 boundaries established under the UN mandate.

What I want to know is – if those boundaries are so sacred to the Arabs, why did they launch the Six-Day War in 1967 to obliterate them?

Answer me that, Hamas and Hezbollah. And you too CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS.

Blind faith. I’d say delusional. How do you negotiate with a people possessed with a single-minded mission to martyr themselves in service to their god?

The idea of a peace process is ridiculous – as if there’s a fixed set of action items to be done. There will be no peace until all sides want it.

Jonah cites an article with this passage:

When Hamas leader Nizar Rayyan was assassinated in an IAF strike last week, his four wives and 11 of his children died with him. According to his surviving children, the death of the Rayyan family children was not an accident: Rayyan had trained his wives and children to die with him as “martyrs.”… Another son died years earlier when Rayyan sent him to carry out a suicide bombing in Gaza. Two Israelis were murdered in that attack.

To the Left, the important word isn’t ‘Peace’… it’s ‘Process’. As long as you’re talking aobut peace, it doesn’t matter how many mass graves are filled: you’re TALKING about PEACE! Witness Zimbabwe…

I’ve been accused of being pro-torture, so I went to Joe.My.God proving apparently they were right. I cannot believe I saw people actually trying to defend the anti-gay, anti-semitic hate group Hamas. Reading the anti-Israel bile by the idiot commenters was torture.

My dad told me recently, “I consider myself reasonably liberal, but I am sick and tired of the tolerance for anti-semitism on the far left.”

Tell me again why gay conservatives are self-hating?

Unfortunately for the pointed haired elites, Aggressive deterrence seems to be working better than happy bunny fuzzy warm kum-ba-yah diplomacy. The media may have a liberal bias, but reality is still conservative.

Not human beings, ILC, liberal elitists. Why are liberal elitists this stupid? For an answer, look at the classy people who run leftist academic institutions (universities), who educated the liberal elites, and how the elite of academia respond to the Presence of a Conservative Critic.

At one point, a member of the audience could be seen giving Mr. Horowitz the finger. Brian Kennelly of California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, who presided over the event, wrote on The Chronicle's Web site that he observed an audience member repeatedly mouthing an obscenity to Mr. Horowitz

Bear in mind, the audience in question was made up of elite liberal university professors.

This blind faith in the peace process is almost religious in nature. All objective facts that might disprove its thesis are ignored.

Side question: Why are human beings this stupid? Why, why, why? If it’s wishful thinking, well, I can understand a few human beings giving into that. But why do so many?
