Those are a couple of examples. The forced removal of Palestinians from their homes to may way for Israeli settlements is another. The naval blockade that prevents humanitarian aide from reaching Gaza is another.

Maybe.

In the land of the free however if you question any of Israel's actions then you are labeled a Hamas supporter and anti-semite and even possibly a KKK member.

LOL, typical response from a leftist.. not able to put into their own words a response. Name the exact law that was violated in two sentences or less.

Israel is not perfect (no one ever is), but leftists continue to overlook the brutality of Hamas, and instead focus all their energy on Israel. Another reason why this is the case is that leftists are chickenshiites, and thus think that if they can appease the Islamists, they Islamists won't ever notice they are infidels too. South American countries don't want to get on the bad side of any nation that might become hostile toward them.

Leftists that side with Hamas never in general will find a UN violation committed by Hamas, but they will always find violations committed by Israel. They are implying that Hamas is morally superior to the Jooz. That intentionally killing civilians is morally superior to accidentally killing civilians. This is to be expected since leftists have a hard time determining morally superior positions in conflicts.

Here is one for you:

I will watch that video when I have 45 minutes to spare. And speaking of chickenshiites, I noticed that comments were disable for that video. Imagine that.

I don't agree with all of the tactics used by Hamas. However let's get the facts straight. Israel is occupying Palestine, not the other way around. If a foreign army were occupying my country, killing my neighbors, having a blockade on supplies coming in and out, I would join a militia and engage in armed resistance. You wouldn't do the same for your community?

Scared of Islamists? That kind of fear mongering has never intimidated me. Ease up on the Fox news.

As much I dislike Israel, what it stands for, they fought a war against the Arab nations in 1948 and they won, if you want to educate yourself, Read about the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

Usually when a country or a group of people loses a war, they give up and move on with their lives, but Palestinians NEVER will because they are some of the most stubborn creatures on Earth, which leads me to the next point which is not very PC.

How many Palestinians do you know? Have you ever lived amongst them? Do you even understand their culture and how their minds work? If you did, I think you would think twice before supporting them.

Now lastly, I will give you something to think about: Palestinians were rejected by every single Arab country with the exception of Jordan which allowed them to build refugee camps there but never really helped them in any other way. Why do you suppose that is?

Are you ignorant or retarded? I think you are just playing with our heads.

That's encouraging that you're willing to watch the video. The Palestinians never existed in the history of the world until 1948. The "occupied land" was originally supposed to belong to Israel (so was Jordan for that matter), and then it was given to Jordan and Egypt (Egypt for the Gaza strip). Israel has repeatedly sought a two state solution with the Palestinians for peace, but each time the Palestinians refused because their goal is the drive the Jews into the sea. There will never be peace in the middle east until the Jews are destroyed. Allahu akbar!

Here is a shorter 6 minute video for you:

What's going on here? Is it because many Latin Americans think of themselves as a people colonized by a foreign power (the U.S.) and think that Palestinians are also colonized by a foreign power (Israel)? Is it because there are a lot of Latin Americans of Arab origin and they have a lot of influence, more than Latin American Jews?

No, Latin Americans are not afraid of Jewish influence. In the US, if you say anything against Israel in specific settings, you will find yourself with your but..t kicked.

Plus, there are many Christian Palestines in Latin America..but their best friends are...local Jewish...
