Yet, Rabin is the epitome of peace, and Netanyahu is a slave to war.<br /><br />You write often about how you come from the left's "peace camp", but with the recent demise of language, that doesn't say much to those of us who spent the 90's popping zits.<br /><br />Where did you start off on the Palestinian issue? Did you support Rabin? Did your friends? How has your position evolved? What did you think when that first explosive belt packed with metal nails and washers went off in the mid-90s... was it in Tel Aviv?<br /><br />What did people think of in '93 when they spoke of Oslo - Palestinian autonomy or independence?<br /><br />It's a tall order to ask you to sum up the last 20 years of your life as we sit back and enjoy the ride... However, it would be informative for me, and I'm sure many of your readers, to step out of the current situation and examine where we came from.Avigdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008730229882004376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-79578739387297884312009-09-08T12:41:40.902+03:002009-09-08T12:41:40.902+03:00To Alex,
