One Response to “Deal or no-deal in the Middle East: three forces leading to a deadly collision”

    I am uncomfortable with some of your language. It is not a "security fence" - it is a huge wall in many points. You suggest the recent violence at the borders was the result of "nervous young soldiers feeling cornered." I disagree - they were never at any risk. They were most likely ordered to kill, as the Israeli Government fears non-violent protesters more than any other threat. Its intention by killing was to discourage non-violence, and indirectly encourage more violence which serves their purposes better. Negotiation has been used by the Israelis as a stalling tactic while they grab more land and water. How can you continue to talk about negotiations when one side (Israel) displays absolutely no "good faith". Reply
