Disrespect breeds mistrust. Israel disrespects … well … seems like everyone. Arrogance is not very attractive either.

If Israel is not an enemy, it should take great care not to behave as one. This has hardly been a national priority for them.

As long as the arabs have a fanatical hatred of Israel, it will distract them from everything else.

As always the arabs’ troubles are of their own making; they are the ones to blame for their problems, not Israel.

The facts no one wants to read.

Learn to think for yourself.

Censorship is evil.

Eideard, there was never a nation of Palestine. How can Israel steal land that it owned in the first place? You might as well say the Native Americans stole the land that makes up their reservations. At least Muslims get to live in Israel. You think an independent “Palestine” will allow any Jews in? They already have a death penalty for any Palestinian who sells his land to a Jew. Israel comprises one-thousandth of vast Middle Eastern land. It is the size of New Jersey. Amazing that you are so obsessed with this one sliver of land that is the Jewish homeland, going back 3500 years. In the early 1900′s, would you have been so focused on returning the Jews’ stolen land, so Israel could be restored? You act like the “Palestinians” are the only people who ever got displaced by war. They are only the most obnoxious, if one uses terrorism as the measure.

Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, leaving numerous greenhouses as a present. The Gazans promptly trashed the greenhouses, elected a terror group to govern them. The terror group then launched thousands of projectiles at Israeli civilians. Hamas is dedicated to Israel’s destruction and considers itself in a state of war with Israel. Thus, the people of Gaza are lucky they get any assistance from the “enemy,” Israel. All you critics should try to think of other countries which allow goods to flow into their enemies’ hands. Yet, no Gazans starve, their markets are full, and they still somehow have no shortage of ammo and AK47s.
Israel is not apartheid; I’ve been there and all religions and races freely mix. However, the terrorist state of Gaza must be isolated, or there would be 2-3 terror attacks every day in Israel. If that poses inconvenience for Gazans, too bad. Get rid of your terrorist overlords, then we’ll talk.

A suggestion worth considering – after Israel returns the land stolen from other nations including Palestinians.

Fuel and construction materials, as well as wheel chairs and medical supplies, are all blockaded by Isreal to a large extent against Gaza. Look up the news on the web to find out more.

Electrical power only reaches Gazans 4 to 6 hours a day because of the Israeli mass punishment aganist Gaza. And Egypt can only bow to Israeli rules when dealing with its Palestinian neighbours.
