Yes, KPFK does have a bias, I'm aware of that, but it is one of the few places where I can hear the Palestinian side of the story. I didn't say you were not listening, I'm just presenting the other side of the war... If Israel really wanted peacce they would stop the settlements in the West Bank, open and monitor all the border checkpoints to Gaza, and allow food, water, medicine, etc (no weapons) pass.
I guess I don't see the arguement from Israel that they have a right to the holy land... they are but one of many religions that hold that ground sacred. I don't see them as good custodians of that land. They need to learn to live withing the pre-1967 borders of Israel.
If this offends some people, so be it.
Yes, it seems to me (my opinion) that Israel does not want peace. They have ignored a UN Resolution and have totally neglected any calls for humanitarian aide. Am I biased? Maybe, but I do read both sides, and listen to both sides and what I hear is a bunch of zionist zealots calling for the destruction of anything that is Arab. Unfortunately our government supports the Israelis. This will not change. All this conflict will do is further the cause of Hamas, and as Hezbollah found out, make them stronger. Israel must work for a lasting peace and a two state solution or we'll be forced to keep selling them more weapons. Both sides may be wrong but measure for measure, Israel is acting out of turn. Destruction of schools, medicial clinics, and universities is not a way to peace.
Israel was founded by a bunch of terrorists who fought the British and Palestinians in order to start a country.
