I was very angry when I posted this. I think I still am, and it's out of frustration; it seems no one wants to talk about the situation in a sensible manner. And I know what you mean about not feeling as if you know enough to comment. There's always going to be accusations: of being an apologist, of being ignorant of history... The more people start feeling as if they have to defend everything they say, the less dialogue we'll have. And I can't think of a worse beginning to apathy in regards to the conflict.
