"everybody is sick and tired of unilateral concessions and "goodwill gestures" that don`t do anything except to increase the level of violence"
I presume you`re talking about Israeli "unilateral concessions and goodwill gestures", Jeff. Name any, DIRECTED AT HAMAS (not their Uncle Tom, Mahmoud Abbas), that weren`t self-serving. The Gaza evacuation (probably at the top of your mind) was carried out by Israel so that it would be in a better position to hold onto the more vaulable real estate of the West Bank. Ariel Sharon said so at the time. This was not a "goodwill gesture". |
