Reader comment on item: [UNRWA:] The Refugee Curse
Submitted by Harden Ervin (United States), Aug 26, 2003 at 08:55
I have long been a student of current events. I agree that there should be a decisive conclusion to the conflict in Israel. For all my adult life I have witnessed a stalemate and the continual loss of life over there. The Palestinians seem to have fogotten that the best life is a life that advance your childrens prospects for living better in the future. Their idealistic atempt to right a 40 year wrong is keeping them from moving ahead. The are shooting themselves in the foot. Even though I do not feel that Israel is right since they are the stronger and have their economic act together, I feel they should fix the problem. It is sad but this is the only way.Harden Ervin
