There's a lot of pseudo-logic surrounding nearly any debate involving Israel and Palestine. Personally, I've seen that same pseudo-logic cut both ways.On the one had there are the people who call any critic of Israel's policies an anti-semite. But then there are those who treat Palestine like a sacred cow, as well. Say anything critical of the Palestinians and they'll automatically label you as a racist who hates swarthy people.

Personally, it seems to me that the the biggest roadblocks to peace are thrown up by irresponsible extemists within both camps. I often imagine moderates in both camps who want peace facepalming so hard they risk self-trepanation.

Admittedly, I say this as someone on the outside of the tent looking in so take it for what you think it's worth.
