I defend Israel on this board and no one has ever
offered to pay me for it either.
I wish that I could be a paid supporter of Israel.I
would want that payment to be in gold and silver

Israel doesn't have many friends in the area, but if they treat others the same way they've been treating the Palestinians, there might be enough pressure building to force Israel into giving concessions to Palestine, or there might be full-out war. Here's hoping for the former.
Israeli troops opened fire as more than 1,000 Gazans marched on the northern Erez crossing with Israel, wounding at least 52 people, an AFP correspondent and medics said.
He said several hundred people had bypassed a Hamas checkpoint to come within a few hundred meters of a concrete border barrier, in a huge march to mark the anniversary of Israel's creation in 1948, in what is known in Arabic as the "Nakba" or "catastrophe."

Israeli troops on the Golan wounded at least 10 people as they fired live rounds and tear gas Sunday at protestors who broke though from the Syrian-held side of the plateau, medics and defense sources said.
Israeli media reported at least one dead and several wounded but there was no immediate confirmation of the toll, in one of the worst incidents for decades along a ceasefire line that has been quiet since a 1974 truce accord.
Medical officials said "between 10 and 20" of the protestors were wounded, with one feared dead, while three Israelis were said to have been lightly injured in the incident.
Meanwhile, Al-Jazeera television reported that four Syrians had been killed in the fighting.

Palestinian protesters clashed with Israeli security forces in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem on Sunday on the anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel in 1848, a day many Palestinians call "nabka," meaning "catastrophe." Dozens were wounded in those protests, which come after Palestinian rival political groups Hamas and Fatah recently signed a reconciliation deal in Cairo, making an already-dormant peace process appear even further away. But attention is already turning to deadly clashes that erupted on Israel's borders with Lebanon and Syria, reportedly resulting in the deaths of eight people.

(I know you state that you're Australian, but I've found most Australians to be good with written language and self expression, and you are clearly not).
Are you able to offer a valid opinion rather than simply attacking another poster without offering anything in return? You're being a troll, and nothing more. That just tells me that we are right about your intentions
Why is that when we see a rise in diversity of opinion, a segment of ATS members automatically assume some nefarious reason?

My prayers are with them. Sadly, I doubt this will change anything for the Palestinians. You only need to take a glance at what Israel has gotten away with in the past to know they won't end their genocidal takeover until forced to do so at gunpoint, and that doesn't look likely to happen anytime soon.
Oh, and one correction to TheWalkingFox: it's only Israel and the US who continue to turn a blind eye, the UK has been a lot harder on Israel since David Cameron came in and recently threatened to recognise Palestine unless Israel made a serious attempt (for once) at achieving peace. David Cameron to Israel: join talks or I may support independence declaration
