Boban, my 'get over it' post was intended for the 'argument from antiquity' logical fallacy Ray continues to employ. It was not connected with the subject matter of your political cartoons.
I'll repost the conclusion to last thread on this subject.
There is no easy fix. There is nothing to gain in apportioning blame. Anti-Semitism is vile in any form, as is displacing a people from their homeland. Both parties in this conflict have blood on their hands, and both help perpetuate the cycle of violence. It is this cycle that needs to be broken and only then, can these peoples live together. However, racial and religious intolerance hamper this process and only fuel the fires of hatred; the need for vengeance; the use of human shields; the incessant propaganda war and the generational violence. History doesn't matter. The 'I was here first' argument is rubbish. It does not matter. What does matter is that the Jewish people are there in Israel and everyone has to come to terms with it. Having said that, I wish the Palestinians could enjoy peaceful lives devoted to the pursuit of prosperity and happiness. It is a difficult situation, and greater individuals than any of us have worked on it with no solution in sight for the near future. Moreover, what this thread has demonstrated is that the very problems that come with a clash of culture and ideals, which are evident throughout the Arab-Israeli conflict are mirrored here, in this small group on line.
Perhaps the OP would be kind enough to join us and express his views on the subject?
None of the above. Harmony can only be attained by breaking the cycle of violence and the culture of blame. As History shows, that is incredibly difficult to acieve.
