It’s not about the land
To the Editor:
Anyone who believes that the Palestinians want only a state should spend time riding buses or visiting cafes in Israel.
Such people--Students for Justice in Palestine, silent Islamic clerics, CNN and other media—believe that suicide bombers who kill Jews and Arabs are justified. Other people, with a sense of decency, agree with Australia's petition for the UN to declare suicide bombings a “crime against humanity.”
One of the most recent horrendous bomb attack victims said it all: “It's not about land. They (the Palestinians) want us all dead.”
That's it. So forget the talk about occupation, about settlements, about humiliation, and the insulting belief that Allah is a god who gloats on innocent blood and rewards murderers.
