34. Of course I don't see
Muslim fundamentalism is better.

What I'm saying is, Israel has the power in this thing and they should behave better than those they oppress.

Israel is holding Palestinians prisoner inside this huge wall. I won't go into the long list of things being done to them, as it will lead elsewhere. But you can't compare fighting with homemade weapons, rocks and such to US bought weapons. It's like a fight between a 5 year old and an adult. It's inherently unfair.

I think Israel has the greater responsibility here, in part because of their treatment of the Palestinians, and in part because they are funded by the US and they claim to be a democracy.

And it is a "perceived threat", not necessarily an actual threat in the way Israel claims. It's one thing for these groups to threaten to drive Israel into the sea, but they have no power to back up those claims. It's not something that will likely happen. In that way, I think Israel is using that threat as an excuse to further their military and political goals.
