You Can't Always Get What You Want

So. This made me really mad. Read the story. Read the other stories listed on the side. Read the background info. I am not just mad because I lived in the Middle East for a little once. The whole situation is just ridiculous. All the analysis in the world and all the theorizing and coming up with solutions doesn't do any good, because it is the people on the ground that matter, and in the end there is always someone who disagrees, for a very good reason. Peoples' images of reality is what is important, and I wish there was some way to make everyone see the same reality. Or, I don't know. I wish there was a way to broadcast the same information to everyone, into their minds, while they were asleep, and have them all remember it. This part was the worst:

"Israel will not intervene in demonstrations inside the Gaza Strip but it will ensure the defence of its territory and prevent any violation of its sovereign borders," said a joint statement released by Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Defence Minister Ehud Barak.

I don't even know what to say.
