Middle East selector
I have found an interesting quiz about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ("Middle East political opinion selector"). It is located here.
My results are: (#1 equals your best match ) #1 International mediator #2 Palestinian moderate / peace-oriented #3 Israeli leftist / peace-oriented #4 Average Palestinian #5 Average Israeli #6 Israeli far right-wing #7 Palestinian Intifada supporter #8 Palestinian suicide bomber #9 Israel Fanatic Settler Looking at my previous discussions on this topic, I wonder what would Loren Pechtel's (and other people's) results be.

The ordering is by degree of agreement; those who've listed their scores agree the most with relatively moderate positions as opposed to the extremists on both sides.

A lot of the questions are just messed up.... and give inaccurate results. As an example... I don't think Israel should 'unconditionally' withdraw from anywhere, even Gaza or the West Bank. I don't have a problem with ceding territory tho, particularly in return for some other concessions.

I also see nothing about that quiz to indicate the possibility of the problems being caused by outside forces--and I don't think any solution is possible until those outside forces are dealt with somehow. (Not that I see any viable way of doing so at present.) |
