10. i just dont get it......
Edited on Thu May-25-06 04:56 PM by pelsar
i really dont......it is a basic geographical fact....yet so many cannot even bring themselves to admit it....why is that?....the only reason i can think of is that it endangers the "belief"....and like all beliefs if some facts interfer, then they either must be ignored or interpreted differently.

now its pretty hard to interpret the gaza/egyptian border as being anything other than a border...and the rafah crossing is a physical crossing with a road..so that leaves "ignoring it", pretending it doesnt exist. (though i had some posters here attempt to explain to me why the rafah road cant take trucks...until i acutally found a picture of trucks on the road....)

i guess the "blame israel" religion also has its share of fanatics...and nothing gets in the way of those beliefs......especially simple things like borders and facts....(reminds me of the settlers, they too dont see borders)
