Britons and Germans 'rudest tourists'

I don't think this is going anywhere.

To me, this is all looking like a particularly unruly dish of noodles,
what with the intertwined quotes and counter-quotes. Also, I don't see any
attitudes changing - not mine, nor anyone else's. I do see a horse that's
close to falling, and I suggest we stop beating it.

I do thank the few who participated in this mini sub-thread with me. Twas a
slice, folks!

Likewise; it's pleasant to have a measured and thoughtful exchange of views
that doesn't devolve into name-calling, even if nobody really changes their
mind. Til next time then!

I guess I see it somewhat different. Every time it seems like a deal is
close, some Palestinians in the radical fringe commit another atrocity,

times it is utterly predictable. And therefore Israel has made the entire
process hostage to the craziest player, which is so idiotic I begin to
wonder whether it's actually just convenient.

It certainly appears that way. I do wonder whether the Zionist Jews
truly just want to see Islam wiped of the face of the earth, thinking
that is somehow their purpose in life.

I don't get the feeling that too many Zionists (or really any significant
number) have any beef with Islam elsewhere. Actually I don't really see the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict as having much to do with religion. Seems more
like a straight-up tribal-style resource contention thing.
