See, that's where you are wrong. I don't see Israelis as evil at all.
Nor do I see Palestinians needing to "stay in their place". Didn't stop you from making such an egregious conclusion regarding myself. So, how does it feel?
The truth is Sirs, you have no idea what Israelis want.
I can bet that it's largely to do with being left alone, and being able to live in peace, without fear of unguided rockets raining down on their heads. It's just a guess, but it has a pretty strong foundation.
And as I said, you'd never let this stand if it were Black Africans forcing whites into deprivation, confiscating their land, shooting their children. Admit it. What if it were Black African Muslims and white Christians?!? You'd be one of the first in here talking about what a disgrace it was and we need to mobilize our troops right this minute.
Let's put the timeline in place.....Israeli & Palestinian folks DID live in harmony, back in the late 40s. It wasn't until Israel was being attacked, from nearly all sides, that Israel required the need to DEFEND itself, and take lands to help in that defense. At no time did Israel act simply to take land in some supposed racist act of aggression. Isreal, has over time adopted polices that are hurtful to Palestinians, but were largely done in an effort to better secure their defenses, NOT as some rabid racist apartheid organization, that you keep trying to paint them as. And I'm all for advocating change there, WHEN Israel's enemies stop attacking it
If it were simply as you describe above, there'd be no excuse. But it isn't, and YOU KNOW THAT. You see, you want to trying placating the symptoms, when the disease I want to focus on is the effort by militant islam to rid the region of the state of Israel, 1 bomb busing at a time, if necessary. But hey, Israel is the bad guy, so lets just keep kicking them
