then essentially forced him to resign.
I would like to point out that by doing this, NPR is basically saying that Berliner was right and they don't care.
they should be willing to pay that price for the sake of their cause
Serious question. Say they get what they want. What does that change? In Gaza it changes absolutely nothing except the IDF will have less accurate weapons. How is that a win?
Gaza is the world's largest open air prison.
Um, no. I know this gets repeated a lot but it is wrong. The West Bank is an open air prison. Gaza was an autonomous zone with neighbors (including Egypt) who don't like them. Gaza wasn't an open air prison, but it will be now. Also, your claims about losing land in 1948 don't really wash. 99% of both populations were not in the Levant in 1900. That area was worthless after the Silk Road stopped being a major trade root in the early modern period. So most people left and Ottoman administrative incompetence did the rest. After WWI, small numbers of both Jews and Arabs moved into the region. After WWII, many Jews from Europe went there but all the Jews from the Middle East and North Africa were forced at gunpoint to move to the Levant. When they got there, the British (not the Jews) were moving the two populations into different areas to prevent conflict. There were atrocities (by both groups) but only one of those groups was moved there by force and it wasn't the Palestinians (who didn't use that label yet). Truth is, this style of conflict is endemic to this area since 1100 or so when terrorism became a common tactic. And it is largely only practiced by the Muslims. Also, I am being nice here, there is a lot of history I am leaving out and none of it makes the Palestinians look good.
