It is probably safe to assume that everyone knows that the ultimate goals of organisations like Hamas, Taliban etc. is the expansion of the muslim world and eventual rule of the sharia law the world over, (they manage to stir their fundamentalist crap even in western Europe) so your lives would be extremely regimented. On the other hand, Israel practices cultural and religious tolerance--22% of Israeli citizens are Arab Muslims, that participate in courts and government, and have actually better rights than Israelis, because they don't have to serve in the army, if they choose not to. In Israeli society you would not feel much different than in UK or US. So, when you condemn Israel and defend Palestine, whom are you supporting really? And what causes?

MELEENA.....FIRST mistake....it was and is NOT their land the Jews have been there for over 2,000 years... they have a more legitimate claim for Israel than Americans have for America... SECOND mistake... even IF (?) your data is accurate which is highly suspect... children are NOT targeted and Israeli action does NOT meet the definition of terrorism THIRD mistake ....it is NOT rightfully theirs... the only difference between now and 1929 .... the Jews are winning and the Arabs are dying... Why were you not angry when Arabs slaughtered Jews in Hebron You do not know of what you speak



I SEE DEAD SQUIRRELS... When is the last time YOU were in Israel? I was there in 1971.... between wars.... granted it is not the same democracy enjoyed in America.... but it is FAR superior to anything in the region... I have been in half the Arab countries in the area... there is NO democracy there....as to the region being Palestine....Palestine was NEVER a country.... it was a territory populated by both Jews and Arabs for over 2,000 years... why should Arabs have more right to the land than Jews.... and Jews welcomed Arabs when they created Israel.... it was the Arabs who rejected Israel.... even force 25,000 Jews out of their countries stealing their land and property .... you really need better research and avoid the liberal bias based on ignorance

Israel doesn't have secular democracy.



Currently your rights in Israel depend on your religion, Many Christian and Muslim "citizens" are denied the same rights as the Jewish citizens. The same goes for immigration to Israel, which is governed by a religious board of rabbis who decide just who is Jewish enough to get in. So it is not secular.



It is not a democracy. Currently, Palestine is ruled by Israel, just as it has been for over forty years now. A majority of Palestinians were born under Israeli rule and have never known any other rule. Israel is an Apartheid state, not a democracy.





You can't justify your actions by saying "Sure we're bastards, but those guys, they're reaaaaaally bastards."



Israel invaded Palestine. Israel still occupies Palestine. Israel still rules Palestine and is still killing the people it rules and driving them from their land, so it can settle its Jewish citizens on their land.

SHARIAH! It will be good here in the West!



Hamas defends their land and people from those Zionist pigs who land grab, bulldoze Palestinian homes to build illegal settlements and beat/detain/arrest INNOCENT Palestinians (some as young as 5 years) on a regular basis......Did you know, on average, a Palestinian CHILD is killed every 3 days by those Zionist TERRORISTS? Yeah, they are an Islamic militant group fighting for whats rightfully theirs AND Islam, but don't make it seem like Islam is the only thing these brave, honorable men are fighting for.......

This isn't commentary on the question, but more so a response to "i see dead squirrels".



You truly have been drowned in kool aid. Your entire post in so many words is implicating Israel as the evil bad guy and Palestine as the helpless victim being slaughtered like fish in a barrel.



If you truly believe that, then you my friend, are severely ignorant to the facts of this case. Palestine is ruled not by Israel, but by terrorist factions, more recently the hamas division who has openly (and continually) fired hundreds of rockets into Israel.



Israel in response, sends rockets back. How many times have we seen hama and palestine as the initial aggressor? Vs. how many times Israel has initiated the violence? Palestine has been the one to strike 1st about 90% of the time. And eve that 10% in which Israel hits first, is because hama and palestine are attempting to procure nuclear arms and expanded weaponry and Israel can't let that happen because they KNOW those weapons are specifically intended to kill Israelis.



Palestine does not care about human life, they've made it very clear that the reason they despise Israel is based on their islamic religion that Israel should be wiped out. In other words? They're violence filled bigoted supremacists who hate Israel because israel is not islamic.



Palestinians can go f*** themselves because all they've been doing is setting a double standard.

Palestine attacks Israel, Israel attacks back, and then Palestine starts screaming righteous indignation. Are you kidding me? IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ATTACKED, THEN DON'T ATTACK. It's this simple concept that they can't get through their thick rags.



And unfortunately they are further ebbed on by idiots like you who think they know what they're talking about when realistically all they know are the 30 second talking point sound bites they get from the liberal media.



Israel has nukes and if they're pushed too hard by terrorist-hamas, guess what, it wouldn't take much to send them to whatever 72 virgin heaven they so choose.
