You ought to consider the more reasoned analysis of the Israel-Palestine situation, as opposed to your shrill denunciation of all who don't share your perspective, laid out by others on this and similar threads, re: Condi's position on a two state scenario. {You had pinged me to this thread from the Condi thread if you recall).

Israelis and Palestinians alike favor a two state scenario.

The Bush Administration favors a two state solution.

To reiterate my previously stated position - if a 'state of Palestine' doesn't stop terrorist violence launched against Israel, then Israel has a nation-state with which to contend not amorphous 'refugees,' 'occupied territories,' etc.

It seems you drew me onto this thread in order to get me to post something to allow you to lash out at the PCUSA; Condi Rice, whoever seems to be drawing your ire. I hope you feel better.

The issue of a two-state or one-state solution is a red herring. I don't believe that I brought it up in my posts to you.

My point is that Israel is in an extraordinarily difficult situation because of Palestinian Arab terrorists who are trying to kill its citizens.

By voting to cut investments in companies that do business with Israel, your church has chosen to side with the terrorists.

Whether a one-state or a two-state solution is found, I hope that people remember the craven response of the PCUSA to America's ally, Israel, in its hour of need.

I pinged you because I wanted to make sure that you saw that other institutions are now following the lead of your church in attempting to put Israel -- and only Israel -- outside of the community of nations. I wanted you to understand the consequences of your church's reckless actions.

I don't feel better. I will feel better if your church disavows its attempts to demonize Israel and once again becomes a reflection of American values.
