Dear Jonathon,
I don't expect you to be impressed; I do expect you to do your own research,
and to take accountability for your own statements.
The 'textbook' notes are in response to a URL citation that Roger already
gave in a previous post. Please read your emails before lashing out. You
should also note that Roger and I are talking about a pro-Israeli site; if
you dispute their findings, take it up with them.
Camp David II was superceded by Taba 2001. Please read your recent
diplomatic history.
The burden of proof is on the person making the assertion: it is impossible
to prove that a non-event didn't happen. Roger alluded to Palestinians
celebrating Sept 11; I ask him for a citation. Surely, if it is as
well-known as you claim, you should be able to come up with SOME citation.
Perhaps you and he can work together to come up with at least one
citation...
As for the state of war, please, again, check your history, but go back to
1947. Or if it isn't too much work for you, back to the 1890s. BTW, did you
ever check Ben Gurion's autobiography, as I suggested? It is directly
relevant to this matter.
As for the West Bank and Jordan, can you understand that it is not up to the
Israelis to assert that the Palestinians are mistreated by Arab host
countries; it is for the Palestinians to do so -- and they have not done so.
Again, read your history. It seems that in each of my posts to you, I ask
you to do this. I cannot keep on giving you one-on-one tutorials, despite
the sense I have that you really do want to deepen your knowledge of this
sad situation.
It might be better for you to check the facts and their references BEFORE
you condemn them. Otherwise, it merely looks like you will hold to your
point of view no matter what.
Lawry
