Sorry, that was not supposed to be all quotes.

First things first; set up a state, get recognition and support, and then get your land back from the Israeli land thieves.

Umm...once the Palestinians get their state, that is the end of it. There is no 'getting more land back'.…

Only then can the Palestinians have a viable state.

No, you are wrong. First Fatah and Hamas must agree to make peace with Israel. That is the only choice for the Palestinians.

Israel has promised repeatedly to stop their continued building settlements

That is not what the National Police Chief stated. He merely stated that the police will consider sending photos to clinics if necessity arises meaning that if there is a strong evidence that he/she will use such means, then they will consider it.

Ummm...Yes, he did say that and what…

WhatMeWorry,

blvtzpk,

I know you did not ask me, but I hope you don't mind my answering your question, which I do think is an interesting one. I think one of the main reasons for the larger number in the rural areas would be an even greater lack of gainful employment.…

Except that it's the "rural" population/prefectures that have the higher suicide rates.

nigelboy,

In contrast to yourself, since I have never, from the beginning been speaking in absolutes, nothing you have written in your latest response detracts from my suggestion that it is possible it would have been helpful to send photos to hospitals. Let us look at your comments specifically and…
