qatarisun, i think we can sum up your view this way
"palestinians have a grievance and are filled with religious zeal and murderous hate.
the israelies are a civilised society that are responsibly reacting to this threat"
to which i ask
havent the israelies shown that they have religious zeal and murderous hate? dont you need these qualities to:
1) believe a supernatural being has "promised" you a specific piece of land?
2) bulldose paelstinian homes based on this belief and continue to build settlements in spite of the criticism of even your closest allies
3) come with enough weapons from europe and a plan to take over a country based on this belief (zionism from late 1800s)
4) repeatedly achieve ~90% civilian casualties
5) have the upper hand in weapons (understatement) and refuse to allow UN inspectors at the border. why would some one do this!??
6) believe non-jews are evil (look up the hebrew word "goyim" please
7) make it illegal for palestinians to show their flag
8) institute a LAW to BREAK THE BONES of palestinians who throw stones at tanks and army vehicles. (if these stones were an actual threat, it would be difficult to come close enough to someone, grab them, and break their bones, wouldnt it?)
whose beliefs require him to fight the other and take their land?
who is stronger and refused to have the UN as witnesses?
who is really filled with zeal and hate?
shouldnt you be suspicious of that person instead?
you would be, unless you also support israel.
