Subject: Re: On Shapiro for VP:
I see. So you think 10/7 was because of settlements in Gaza?

Too simplistic. That's a part of it. Or, rather, the Israeli attitude that they can take land and villages whenever they like. But that's just a symptom of the bigger problems created by a chaotic history of conflict. The Israelis aren't making it any better, and haven't been since they killed Rabin (at least). But "the other side" (Arafat, Hamas, etc) are perpetuating the problems. Hamas pretty much eliminated Fatah, radicals killed Sadat, and more radicals killed Rabin. Any leader from either side trying to coexist.
