13:0339994Bern, I fully understand where you and Rick are coming from, but you appear to miss my point about the manipulation of history to achieve a political end, and that is what I firmly believe Israel is doing.

13:0639996I think we need to be grown up and accept that that is what nations and societies do. That is actually an even greater reason to remember for ourselves. People in Israel and Palestine are being murdered by each other and that is not likely to stop without political will and intervention. The more we understand the politics the clearer an outcome will become.

15:1740023It would be very interesting to speculate what the culture of this country would be like in another conventional war. With the rise in stabbings, and unspeakable crimes as opposed to 70 years ago, I think they`d be a few war crimes here. And what about internment? However would that work in this multi-cultural society?
