From Myra's No. 221 above:

Ah ha, there we have the US position. Outright murder and flouting of international law is simply to be ignored because otherwise it might disrupt ongoing negotiations.
Fat chance that Israel has any intention (or will ever have, in fact) to actually reach a genuine peaceful settlement in the Middle East.
I also liked the comment that the "report's tone and conclusions are unbalanced". A very sly statement when it is recalled that Israel flatly refused to provide input to the report.
It's all a charade.
Quote:The statement said the fact-finding mission's report's "tone and conclusions are unbalanced." It went on to state, "We urge that this report not be used for actions that could disrupt direct negotiations between Israel and Palestine that are now underway or actions that would make it not possible for Israel and Turkey to move beyond the recent strains in their traditional strong relationship."

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
