The collapse of the Palestinian Authority, the result of Israel's 42-year refusal to implement a two-state solution, leaves the Palestinians no option but to unilaterally declare an independent state. Israel acted unilaterally when it announced independence in 1948.

Eric

I'm sorry please put me back on your friends list. Please accept my apology.

Mudflap

— Burlap Mudflap

Eric,

I recently read the interview that you did with RedRuby. You laying out your experiences and ideas in a format that was easier for me to understand was very refreshing.

I think the level of disagreement that you get from me and other does primarily come from the way that your writings are structured, and the use of words like "class" and "nazi" in either a repetitive (to the point of loosing all meaning to me) or seemingly incorrect manner.

Definitions aside, I think I may disagree on many issues with you but I would like to apologize for some of the harsh things that I have certainly said to you. I am sorry.

I will try to make more of an effort to understand what you are saying in the future. Hopefully I won't get snapped at if I ask questions to clarify (i.e. What do you mean by X or Y?)

Regards,

Ledif

With the risk of sounding stupid, I have a really hard time trying to understand some your comments. They seem to have an enormous amount of "gobbledygook" in them. Check out this definition:

Eric is one of those rare and unique people that come along but once in a lifetime, your not sure if that light at the end of the tunnel is a train bearing down on you or an emergency exist light. At first glance, I assumed falsely a high speed train, but after time and some careful reading and rereading, I realized that perhaps it was more of a chance to take another look in a different light. And for that view, I will be forever thankful, that one has sure opened my eyes to many things.
Thanks for being a good friend Eric,
