succinctly put, mr cole.
naturally, peace is an important outcome, and the peaceful attitudes and behavior of the population being marginalized is the big problem being less successfully the fig leaf for 'israel'.
one hopes (a hope that exists only with faith now) that the (especially current) israeli administration is only actively contributing to the repeated beating of a hornet's nest in a knee jerk reaction mirroring former behavior.
as a (now retired) curial cardinal points out, it is WORSE than an open air concentration camp.. and the only thing that is stopping peace now is israel.... with the help of the u.s. policy. if the u.s. were to tell israel to make peace, it would make peace.
sadly, what one sees in this sandstorm is the practice and honing of dehumanizing tactics meant to desensitize the israeli and international viewers (inoculating us to future outrages in 'israel' and abroad) and distract from any future escalation.. keep the ratings up and the populace ambivalent to apathetic.
