Why don't you guys go read some public opinion polls on what Palestinian's think, what their value system is and how open minded they are. You might
have a different perspective.

The reason why some people don't support Israel (Obama) is very simple. Israel is Gods chosen nation, and those who hate God will also hate Israel.
Also I think its funny that the Arabs excuse for blowing up Israels citizens is that the land belonged to them first...but most people forget that the
jews inhabited israel WAY back before the roman empire...soo technically the jews had the land first.
the vasy majority of "jews" in israel are actually decended from the kazars in europe. their king decided they should have a faith and chose judaism
over moslem and christianity hundred of years ago. these people were mercenarys and fought the wars of other countries for a living.
sources?
and the jewish people are jewish by genetics not just religion. There is a bloodline that was kept clean for the most part for thousands of years
because these people were commanded by God not to interbreed or marry with most other ethnicities.
Can't help but wonder who lived there before Abraham.
Or, would your line of thought just stop at some arbitrary point of your own choosing?
I'd say whatever ethnic group was there before Abraham has dibs on it...oh wait, but none of them exist anymore. So I guess that makes the jews first
on the list.
Here is the bigger issue here. God does not declare borders. Sorry. Thats just the way it is. God does not "Choose people" and decide one group of
people are better than the next and deserve more.
You must take religion out of the picture with this situation. Only then can you look at it for what it is.
Forget the whole 1967 discussion for a minute. If Israel was to right now, declare what they have as their designated borders, would they leave it at
that? Israel continues to build new settlements, despite strong opposition and UN resolutions. They just continue to ignore the world. Of course it
helps that Israel's lapdog, the US, constantly backs them up and veto's everything in opposition to Israel. So.. would Israel stick to the borders
if they declared them now? My opinion is no.
Does Israel have a right to exist? No. The people living there do. That goes for both Jews and Muslims. I'm going to venture to guess Palestinian's
really wouldn't have a problem living in Israel. But they can't under the current conditions. Just go look at how much of Israel is segregated. It
is an apartheid state.
The crime of apartheid is defined by the 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as inhumane acts of a character similar to other crimes
against humanity "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other
racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime."
While being Jewish is not a race, the Israeli's carry out this very thing. "Jews only" is almost a mantra in Israel. Jewish only settlements,
separate roads for Jews, military checkpoints, security walls, discrimination in marriage, etc etc etc. The list is very long. So how can people
expect a Palestinian family to make a life for themselves in Israel. Would you expect blacks to just suck it up and live in South Africa when it was
an apartheid state?
The OP included a bunch of links and videos showing how the Palestinians have committed crimes and terrorist acts against Israel. I do not deny that
things like this go on. However, if I throw a rock at you, does that mean you can get 100 of your buddies and grab your shot guns, mow me and my
family down and destroy our entire town? Disproportional force. And Israeli's are no "Angels" either. They commit their own crimes against
Palestinian people. Here are a few:
Israel likes to play the victim whenever it suits them. They will bring up the Holocaust or anti-Semite. It's a convenient tool to garner sympathy.
But I think people are getting a little tired of it.
I could go on and on and on. Lets remember one thing. The Palestinians don't have billions of dollars to throw around to hire attack dogs like Israel
does. For some reason the United States feels they must stand up for this country no matter what. USS Liberty, The Lavon Affair, possibly the USS
Cole, the constant spying on America, the stolen nuclear secrets, etc etc etc. Yet APIAC has the American Congress, Senate and President wrapped
around their finger. Every time Netanyahu comes to town, they run around drooling like dogs to see how much butt they can kiss. They want that mighty
dollar. The Israeli lobby is what keeps up sending them money, weapons and support, regardless of world opinion. Israel has never done ANYTHING for
the United States. Nada, nothing, zilch. Yet we are constantly used as their attack dog. When they wanted Iraq attacked, we did it. Now they want Iran
attacked and we probably will do it. Libya, Syria.. the list goes on. And this is exactly why Israel has been getting away with all the genocide it
has been committing (yes.. I said genocide).
Yep, Hamas are certainly the bad guys. They treat their children as if they were adults. Oh wait, Israel also treats Palestinian children as if
they were adults, Yesterday they raided a house and arrested a six year old. Yes, they DO use their citizens as "human sheilds". Israel has NEVER
used Israelis as human sheilds BUT the cowardly IDF OFTEN uses Palestinians as human sheilds. Nice to put up a lot of videos showing us what we
already know. Hamas is evil. But then no more evil then Irgun, Haganah or the Stern Gangs actions during Israels inception.I KNOW the thread is about
the actions of Hamas but I think it is important to keep the terrorist actions of both sides in mind. Hamas will one day fall by the wayside and be no
more,
