Dude, tell me where Palestine existed prior to WWII. To what extent have the Syrians and Lebanese created a free society for their people and embraced the Palestinians? We (the West) have at least somewhat evolved into a society where we don't walk into a crowded cafe filled with women and children with a bomb strapped to our chest.
I don't care how pissed off and miss treated you think you are, nothing justifies that. This has nothing to do with Iraq and the Bush administration. The only thing the Isrealis
might be doing is taking advantage of the fact that they do have the security of U.S. backing when they make no mistake about their ability to react quickly and decisively to agression from their neighbors.
That is the big difference between us and Israel. They are not just provoked and treatened they are attacked by those in immediate proximity to them. To say that they are not allowed to use force to defend themselves and their way of life is insane. They are in a war zone every day. Each and every day they know that they wake up to the fact that
ALL of their neighbors hate them and would love nothing more than to wipe them off the face of the earth.
Can the same be said for the Jews? Do you ever hear them say that they
HATE Islam? Do you ever hear them say that they want to dispose of the muslums? Never. They just want their little slize of the planet and be left alone to eat their unleavened bread and wish each other shalom. Why is that so hard for them?
Because eavery country around them wants to see them dead. They spend each and every day of their existance defending themselves from these people. What is so hard to understand about that?
P.S. - A.N.S.W.E.R. the IAC, UFPJ, and the WWP should be declared terrorist organizations and bannished from peacefull society.
