I <a href="http://elementalvision.blogspot.com/2006/02/bang-head-repeat-pt-mcmxvli.html" rel="nofollow">touched on this issue</a> yesterday while writing about Condi's mission to add to the poverty and unemployment in the region (these guys are really good at creating poverty and unemployment): Not paying back the taxes is their decision - they have to live with their decisions every day and suffer the results or benefits thereof. They can, and will continue to blame Palestinians for the same predictable violence while ignoring the very instigations, insults, forced poverty and hunger and violence that brings it about in the first place. Pretty typical stuff really. Nice post Richard, very compassionate.
