Hey, gila, you sexist homophobe. Everyone knows that women and gays are treated better by the Israelis than by the Palestinians.

Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. What a death-loving cult of misbegotten left-behinds. The best Palestinians left that land long ago. What remains is a breeding farm for civilian killing suicide bombers.

I have no compassion for these ‘Palestinians’, none at all. Arafat turned down a gilded offer of ‘Palestinian’ statehood back in 2000 and declared war instead on his erstwhile ‘peace partner’. After this stroke of brilliance, the Pals followed up by electing a bunch of thugs into office, who promised more efficient government and more efficient terrorism against the hated Zionists. Of course, Hamas failed on both counts.

The Pals have only succeeded in impoverishing themselves and getting a lot of people (mostly Pals) killed. The Pals, in their zest for hatred of all things Jewish, have also likely succeeded in planting the seeds of hatred into their children, another generation of eager ‘martyrs in waiting’. War without end. It would be tragic if it wasn’t all so predictable.

The Pals have no one but themselves to blame, but remember, the Middle East in particular, and Islam in general, are not too well known for critical self examination.

Yikes – what a complex issue here. I had just read an article on http://www.vision.org which helped me understand the conflict from a more historical perspective (”Triumph and Tragedy in the Middle East – What Happened 60 Years Ago, and Why Jerusalem Won’t Go Away” by David Hulme) but this conflict adds more complexity yet. This issue is a hot bed I can see that from the comments above. There is no side at this point that could possibly be “right” if killings and bombings are any indication. It is very helpful to take a moment and think about the similarities between the sides – what is this all about – the right to have family and business and peace and happiness. But that surely can’t be arrived at by hate and prejudice and not understanding the historical perspective.

When ever did one person calling the other person a racist change any thing? Ever? It’s just a stupid attempt at moral blackmail, but then that’s all the Pal’s (and Arabs) are good at is blackmail. And blowing s*** up.

Gila..

Palestinians send their children to Hamas summer camps and schools to learn about how Jews are the sons of pigs and apes and sing songs about how much fun it is to kill the Jews. There are calls for Palestinian children to come out into the streets and throw rocks at soldiers. They use children as human shields and raise them to be martyrs. Hell, they’ve used retarded teens as suicide bombers.

Israel has tried and tried again and again to make peace… in 1948, in 1967, in 1973, Oslo, Camp David and more. They’ve made peace with their neighbors who have chosen to give up destroying the state.

So yes, I think Israelis do love their children more but no matter how much you love your children, you can’t make peace with someone whose sole ambition is your death and the death of your entire family.

Gila, Israel can make peace when there is someone to make peace with. Israel did ALL the running in the 90s and it got a bloody uprising with more Israelis killed during the “peace talks” than were killed during decades of “war” with the Palestinians. Israel has pulled out to the mm from South Lebanon and Gaza, but stayed in the West Bank and the Golan. Where does all the current violence come from? Where is absolutely quiet? Given the answers to those questions why would Israel pull out from more territory?

As for Israelis love of their children we just paid the price to get two coffins back.

I am sick and tired of all these racist comments!!!!,
Lisa, what do you mean by “when the palestinian love their kids more etc”, do the israelis love their children more? If so, why don’t they make peace?
Mike, can you hear the racist and ugly sound of the sentences you just wrote???
Rocketeer, “until they grow up”, is the israeli society grown up??? as far as I can see, it’s quite infantile…
