It's refreshing to see a whole new batch of worthless illogical accusations against those Israelis.

"Unfortunately, they are no longer content with just securing their borders,"

Is that right? They seem to me as about as content as they usually are. Just sittin' around waiting for the next rocket barrage, suicide bomb or sniper.

" they are slowly trying to squeeze the Palestinian people into oblivion "

Now there's one accusation I haven't heard before. I guess I missed the article in the Geneva Convention about "squeezing people into oblivion". But it sure sounds cruel and depraved enough. You might as well throw it in.

" . . and are using oppressive means to do so."

But if you're going to "squeeze someone into oblivion" shouldn't you be allowed to get at least a little "oppressive" ? It seems like they would need to go together.

Why not just post a comment that you think the Israelis are really cruel and mean to the Palestinians and they should leave the WB and go back to the 'original Mandate borders so the ME would be peaceful again like it was before the Jews screwed everything up by shooting back.

Conflating Jews and Israelis. LeftishBrit Jul 2012 #12

your right IMO but what about the Pro-Israel posters here azurnoir Jul 2012 #14

I think it is more like people who equate all Muslims, and e.g. blame British Muslims for the acts LeftishBrit Jul 2012 #16
