The "enlightened" inmates at the left-wing indoctrination camp, known as Guilford College, recently attempted to simulate conditions under which the peace-loving Palestinians are forced to confront each day of their lives.
And since only one side of any issue is permitted at these indoctrination camps, there was no "simulation" as to why these conditions exist.
Was there a "simulation" of the Yom Kippur war? The one where Israel was attacked by its peace-loving Arab neighbors on the eve of its holiest holiday of the year?
Among the results of the attack was a humiliating defeat for the Arab states, and the loss of most of the land now "occupied" by Israel.
Was there a "simulation" of Palestinian terrorists strapping bombs to themselves and blowing up buses, malls, etc., murdering countless innocent people?
Israel then "continues the cycle of violence" by reacting to the killings. It responds by attempting to seek out those responsible. Israelis do not train their children to become suicide bombers.
They do not celebrate in the streets at the slaughter of thousands of innocent victims in the name of God, as did the Palestinians after the World Trade Center bombing.
Israel has checkpoints for the same reason we have security checkpoints at our airports: safety. Mr. Arafat was offered almost everything he claimed he wanted.
His reply: More terrorism.
And Palestinians wonder why so few Americans support them.
