In the meantime, Israel continues to kill civilians, bombing a home

killing a 6 year-old and blaming it on the victims.

1. No one is a victim in that part of the world. No one.

The only difference between the Israelis and the Palestinians is the support of the USA and the amount of weaponry they have. If the Palestinians had the same types of weapons, they would do no less. No one is better than anyone else in that conflict. There is no superior side.

2. Israel steals land, pushes out the people or makes them

second class citizens, bulldozes their homes, gardens children and the world stands by. We actually arm them and equip them and then we can't understand why the Palestinians are mad and fight back the only way they can. They are like the street fighters against the heavily armed.
Suicide bombing is sick but what other means do they have to fight for what is theirs? They are not armed by us.

Israel is an occupying non country of religious people who don't want you if you are not one of them. How's their immigration record?

from the DU rules:
Due to continuing problems, discussion of Israeli/Palestinian issues is limited to the Israel/Palestine forum, and is governed by a special set of rules which are available in that forum. If a discussion is primarily about US policy in Israeli/Palestinian affairs, it is sometimes allowed in other forums. Discussion of other Middle East issues is also sometimes allowed. If a thread is on a different topic, but later goes off-topic and becomes a discussion of Israeli/Palestinian issues, the moderators may move the thread to the Israel/Palestine forum.
