read all about it, this conflict is all about Muslim intolerance and inability to coexist. Period, end of story.
Your definition of coexistance is seriously fucked up, Roudy.
If you want to see real coexistence look no further than America herself.
Whites, blacks and hispanics are allowed to REALLY coexist in America because there are no walls, electric fences, minefields, machine gun nests preventing any of these three ethnic groups from moving freely in their american homeland, from let's say, Miami to NYC.
Palestinians are not allowed to "coexist" with the jewish people in what is now their shared homeland in any meaningful way.
How can you "coexist" with the citizens of a racial dictatorship that doesn't even allow you to get near the border of the racial enclaves assigned to you?

The difference is you support Islamic supremacism.
Tinmore is often called "Hamas' spokesman, Hamas' representative in the US but I seriously doubt he (or pbel, monte, billo) wants to see Palestine being ruled by a theocratic government after the peaceful dismanting of Israel.
What's the point in replacing a murderous jewish racial dictatorship that herds and kills the native arab people of the land with an equally abhorrent, totalitarian islamic dictatorship imposing religious laws on a multicultural society.
We all want to see the jewish racial dictatorship being replaced by a democratic, secular state not a religious dictatorship.
Now you are quite right that the PARTIAL islamization of the palestinian cause (the creation of Hamas, IJ, etc) in the 80's was indeed a catastrophic trend.
It represented a tremendous setback to the peaceful dismantlement of Israel... I'd go further and say that as long as Hamas or any other islamic movement reamains a force in Palestine, the dismantlement of Israel will have to be indefinitely postponed.
But after making a fantastic argument, roudy, you simply cannot resist the temptation of taking it too far and reduce it to a childish caricature in the process.
Palestinians (or arabs for that matter) cannot be reduced to theocrats, roudy. You have millions upon millions of secular arabs (and muslims) who want nothing to do with totalitarian ideologies like theocracies of any kind.
Answer me this simple question:
If palestinians and other arabs are all islamic theocrats, as you say, how do you explain Egypt's massive protests against Mursi?
Millions of Egypts went to the streets to say outloud they didn't want to be governed by Islam.
Stop blowing the REAL, SERIOUS PROBLEM of islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East totally out of proportion in order to "justify" a racist, murderous state that assassinate the very people it should be taking care of.
You remind me of Sally, roudy...
You take a perfectly good, legitimate argument (the big problem of the rise in popularity of islamic theocracies from the 70's on) but then you throw your argument out the window by making too much of it, by turning it into a grotesque caricature of reality.
Let's do our best to neutralize the influence of islamic fundamentalism in Palestine so that we can then proceed with the peaceful dismantlement of the equally nasty jewish racial dictatorship.
