The Palestinians can have terrible things happen to them, they can also keep poking the fucking bear that is Israel so on one hand I can feel bad for them and on the other I can say "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"
This is where I have to disagree with you, Lyle. Israel continues to build ILLEGAL settlements on land that is not their own and your nation in particular blocks any attempt to do anything about it. For some odd reason your country provides billions a year to the Israeli's, blocks any attempt to resolve a dispute at the UN, and your media turns a blind eye to flagrant aggression against people who are basically armed with twigs.
There is a very simple way to resolve this problem and that is to stop funding Israel, to actually back international law, and to respect that the Palestinians have rights in lands that are internationally recognised as their own.
