    I can agree with you on most of this - not sure I agree on all your above points but neither of us is going to shift- for what its worth I agree that Israel should go back to the 1967 boundaries but I am unconvinced that even if they did it would solve the problem - in fact I am convinced it wouldnt.

    The problem is the longer Israel is given a more or less free reign to do as they wish, it will only get worse in terms of finding a solution. This map is broadly accurate in terms of Israel's removal of Palestinian land. Take into account much of this land is ring fenced with walls and Palestinians are unable to leave in most cases.

    The US has agreed to supply Israel with various types of ammunition in a “non-emergency” sale, CNN cites an unnamed US defense official as saying:

    Among the items being bought are 120mm mortar rounds and 40mm ammunition for grenade launchers, officials said. Those will come from a stockpile the United States keeps inIsrael, which is worth more than $1 billion.

    As my favourite news correspondent put it:

    BREAKING NEWS: Pentagon approves transfer of 120mm mortar rounds, grenades and other weapons to #IDF to let the good times roll in #Gaza

    And there was me expecting them to roll out a list of sanctions, not more effing ammo, i wonder what else they will be supplying them with in this deal, like the dont have a big enough arsenal as it is!

    Im 100% Palestine. Just because the Jews were persecuted years ago doesnt make it right for them to do it today, its all starting here guys, not ending. This is the Palestinian nation that has been taken away with the weat not even batting an eyelid
