Just like the government saying you have these or these rights its all BS, cuz when it comes down to it they do anything to you and it comes down to force and violence. the elite consider everyone else as cattle or slaves and spout a bunch of deceptive rhetoric like opium to numb and fool naive minds.

No use even listening to their nonsense proclamations and such. the mask is off.

As long as there is one Jew and one Palestinian left on the planet there will be no peace in the middle east

Netanyahu represents the whole of Israel, including the youth. My point is that the young are the ones who will be catalyst to change. They will be the ones most likely to accommodate change. The older generations of any country are typically adapted to the structure of that society to a point where change is resisted. It is a rare occurance when I will trust the concessions of the elderly.

This, to me, is what I would consider a feint. To save me some typing, I turn to wiki:
Quote:
A feint retreat is performed by briefly engaging the enemy, then retreating. It is intended to draw the enemy pursuit into a prepared ambush, or to cause disarray. For example, the Anglo-Saxon downfall to the Norman invasion was instigated by this tactic where the dominant shield wall of the Saxons broke in pursuit of the Norman cavalry. This forfeited the advantage of height (as the Saxons were positioned on a hill-top) and the line was broken, providing the opportunity to fight in single handed combat on a neutral vantage point, a battle for which the Saxons were not ready.

yeah i know what a feint is, and if this is a feint it's a pretty shitty one. how are some words a politician spoke going to cause disarray among a people who trust that politician not at all? they have all the reason in the world to be distrustful, and palestinians aren't so ridiculously stupid to be put on like this. i just don't get why myself, as an american, and yourself, as a canadian, can't accept this for the positive indication it is. we're not helping palestine by crying foul, and certainly aren't helping to foster progress either. for this reason the cynicism seems all too senseless to me. it's seeming more and more like negativity for the sake of being negative.

I used to use that tactic all the time when I played Red Alert online. It works!
