[B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Please read post #2 from Mara below.  He started this thread and lays out the ground rules.  I moved [USER=11430]@757[/USER] 's post from the other discussion to this thread because his observations are very solid and should be part of any conversation on the topic.[/COLOR][/B]

I don’t typically say anything in these forums, preferring to observe and learn what I can. However, having been to Israel five times in my life and considering my current profession deals almost exclusively with international law (law clerk), I must object to your statement concerning Israel doing anything “illegal.” Eugene Kontorovich is a professor at Northwestern who deals extensively about this issue from a legal standpoint. The link below is a brief lecture regarding the subject.

That being said, seeing human beings suffer should never be easy and I hope the first part of my comment didn't suggest that I was callous toward their plight. I’ve traveled to the West Bank and talked with Palestinians, people who have hopes and dreams just like us. My dad remembers being able to walk through Gaza years before the Israeli’s forcibly removed their own citizens in an effort to create two states for two people. Sadly, the Palestinians democratically elected Hamas and have suffered extensively as a result.

Full disclosure: I am pro two-state solution.
