Boy, there's a lot of angst on the board today. Perhaps it's the inherently frustrating nature of the issue that's upsetting people who otherwise seem to more or less agree with each other (I saw 14 posts, and just assumed there'd be the usual round of pro- and anti-Israel sides)?

A. Smith, your suggestion that Canadians take in Palestinian refugees (I'm assuming that's what you meant) is not entirely without merit. It assumes, of course, that Palestinians would be willing to leave a territory en masse they consider - to a degree, rightly so - to be theirs. Much as we admire Ryan, however, we can't rely on him to do everything for us. By the way, I tend to take your posts much more seriously when you drop the (in the case of your second post above, rather useless) polemical tone and childish name-calling.

All criticisms aside, maybe you'd consider writing a letter yourself? It certainly wouldn't hurt, there would likely be others who'd agree to sign it, your MP would have to listen, and it would go some way towards preempting an otherwise justifiable charge of hypocrisy on your part. . .
