Tried that under Arafat. It didn't work well. Tried it again be removing all Jews from Gaza. And what did Gazans do after all the Jews were gone? Fired rockets into Israel within hours. And what did Hamas do to the residents of Gaza after the Jews were gone? Bulldoze homes.

You're a terrible debater. I said ETHNIC CLEANSING, i did not say genocide.

Second, it is not surprising that you would avoid discussing any of the groups I mentioned:

".. include the Assyrians, Maronites, Kurds, Coptics, Bahai, Azeri, and Orthodox Christians, but there are others."

Why are all of those groups being oppressed and ethnically cleansed out of arab muslim countries?

How may civilizations have arab muslims destroyed in the mideast as they swept a path of total destruction from the arabian peninsula outward?

And sure, you want to expand the conversation to muslims, sure, let's discuss the 2 million sudanese christians slaughtered by muslims there. I'd be HAPPY to discuss that, but I've no doubt you would not.

Lol...what's the difference between genocide and ethnic cleansing?

You're right. It won't stop the violence. That's why the only feasible solution is to peacefully dismantle Israel. And many Jews want this solution, too.


Peace.

According to your logic, if I rob a bank and they start shooting at me, I have every right to shoot back.

Are you completely mentally challenged? First off, nobody is talking about gay marriage. Secondly, if this somehow were about gay marriage (which it isn't) that an issue I'm strongly in support of. You seriously have issues.

Hell...not even of the last few decades. They aren't even in the game.

Wake up.
So why not just say that? You always like bringing up biblical Israelite history for some reason.

Are you seriously connecting supporting the right of Israel to exist with being against gay marriage?

Wow, if this is the case, pigs must fly, aliens created humans, and global warming is a hoax.

Yeah, I'm talking to you.

Maybe it's time for them to stop fighting? If the Palestinians stopped fighting, they'd stop getting the crap kicked out of them. Simple as that. They are absolutely horrible at fighting, they've lost every conflict they've ever engaged in... you'd think they'd have learned by now.

Like others here, I'm sure you'd have no problem with someone else bulldozing your home to make their city grow. No doubt about it.
If I lived in a weak, backwards country governed by men whose primary goal was to kill the stronger, wealthier, and generally better country next to us, and then my house got destroyed in the process of a conflict that those men started and/or perpetuated, then I'd be much angrier at my own country than the one next to us.

Unfortunately, most Palestinians don't realize, for a variety of reasons, that the intensity and ongoing bloodshed in Israel/Palestine is the doing of their leaders and they hold the means with which to live in peace. Hopefully at some point, their desire to live in peace will outpace their desire for vengeance, because there is absolutely no way they will ever be able to destroy Israel.

Don't the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves? Or is that an "Israel-only" thing?

What you're saying is, "if the Palestinians would just give up everything they have, then there'd be peace." Well, they've already done that. And there still is no peace.

The Native Americans "learned their lesson" and went to sit on their reserves like good dogs. The Palestinians apparently don't want to just sit and lose the little they have left. Can you blame them? Would YOU give up your house and home because someone else wanted it? I doubt it.

A little bit of empathy goes a long way.


Peace.
