A quick question for everyone. How many people would REALLY risk their life, possibly never seeing their family again - even give up their life if we talk about suicide bombers?
My point is that they are clearly desperate and at the very end of the line. There is no hope at all in Gaza, no future, no possible resolution to the way people are forced to live. Do people really think these men and women do this because they thrive on chaos and want to increase the mayhem? , , put yourself in the shoes of the man on the street they have no choice.
You can not honestly tell me that because Israelis fear 'terrorism' they are somehow on par with the way most Palestinians feel - and thus justified in this egregious and disproportionate attack that in reality is nothing less than bullying. I'm simply looking at the situation from an objective point of view and telling it how it is - something I think many here should learn to practice.

You have only hate speech pure and simple. I have to go to work now. The taxes taken out of my check will help protect the Arabs, Jews and other citizens of Israel. It is amazing how many people hate Jews on ATS.
American War of Independence anyone - If the English had despatched 10x as many troops as they actually did, and slaughtered the rebels - without the French and Spanish protecting them - would they have been justified in 'putting down the aggressive terrorists' too? Can we view Gaza as people fighting for freedom against an oppressive Israel bent on their control and perhaps destruction?

The Palestinians are just a patsy for the Arab nations so they can get under Israel's skin and kill them slowly, one by one. They could offer Palies citizenship, land, jobs, homes,....they have lots of land and wealth and the Palies are their Arab brothers....but no....they won't do that because if they did there would be peace in Israel....and the Arabs won't have any bloodshed to watch on the evening news.

You are one of the most blatantly hateful people I have ever come into ontact with.
Anti-Jewish ( I will say anti-Semetic.)
You are Anti-American ( I will add anti-capitalist also.)
You are blindly pro-palestinian ( I will add you are probably someone who cries at "The English Patient.")
Donwhite can very well defend his own words, and his own actions. But every now and then a man must stand up aginst the people who speak such trash! Your WRONG about what you are saying in this post, and I dont see how you got any stars for that post..
Ive spoken with Donwhite many many times!! He is not any of those things you said in your post.. Your making things up to suit your own agenda.
Donwhite is a good person, and has a way with words that have not only helped me out, but Ive learned much from him...

"Palestinians or 'Pales' to use the derogatory term you have coined - do not wish to leave the land which by rights is theirs".
Answer: The terms were coined from the Pallywood videos I found on the net. CNN and all the major news networks acknowledged and exposed the fake Pallywood videos showing dead Pallies suddenly walking around. It was quite a resurrection. So thus came about the words Pallies and Pally.
"I'm not talking about the whole of Isreal - but it's either a single state or a two state solution. Isreal has to accept that".
Answer: I think they do, but not one that lobs bombs.
"Someone here posted a map of Isreal in another forum showing the change in the distribution of land between Isreal and Palestine (as it was) over the last 100 years or so".
Answer: No, the land belonged to Israel and it was stolen from them. Look at the maps from 1000 BC and 100BC. The Romans stole the land and renamed it Palestine. The area of Gaza was once the land of the Philistines. King David killed the Philistine Giant Goliath(a nephilim) and then defeated the Philistine Army.
"You will see from that - and from many other sources you can easily google - that Israel has aggressively pursued the displacement of Palestinians from Palestinian land resulting in the chaotic situation we have today".
Answer: If you read all of my posts you will find early on that I posted many videos and links from my searches. I expected people to read through all the posts before entering comments to avoid repetition or looking stupid.
"Israel need to start making concessions, granting back Palestinian lands, learning to treat their neighbours with respect, and learning to live in a civil fashion either as a single state with a joint Israeli/Palestinian based government, or side-by-side in two well defined states, much of which would consist of land released by Israel to form a new Palestine. This sounds reasonable to most, unfortunately, not to the Israelis and a handful of extremists on the Palestinian side".
Answer: Maybe you can apply for a job at the Israeli state department and tell them how to solve it!!
"It's easy to deal with a few extremists - they like it or lump it. It's not so hard to deal with the nation state hell bend on destruction. That's the point".
Answer: Yes, and Hamas is hell bent on destruction that is for sure.

Jews Continue to Engage in the Ethnic Cleansing of old Palestine.
so now the fanatical American 'Born Agains' are enabling the IDF to murder in cold blood scores of unarmed Palestinians.
