After you in London experience carnage the other week in which 52 people were saughtered, I thought that you would have a bit more sympathy with the Israeli people for whom the threat of suicide bombing atrocties is a regular occurance, and understand their need to defend themselves.

The Israeli people have been very restrained in their response to the massive onsluaght of terrorism they have endured over the past few decades. If they had wanted to they could have done what Milosevic did in the late 90s when faced with terrorism from the KLA and ethnically cleansed the whole of the West Bank and Gaza of Palestinians and ended the threat of terrorism once and for all. But they didn't, infact they have been very tolerant with the Palestinians given such extreme provocation they have suffered.

is that 'Occupied Territories' in Northern Ireland, Wales, West Papua, Canada, USA, Australia....or Palestine?

I might not be in an occupying army, but I am part of an occupying state, with a passport to prove it.
