I don't know who told you I'm Palestinian or Muslim, because I'm neither.
Because I support fairness and not apartheid, I'm being called the wife of a terrorist (nevermind the fact that I'm a dude)? You Zionists keep coming up with insults to make up for your pathetic arguing skills.

1) How many years have you lived in the region? You sound very confident...
2) A military as strong as America?
3) Its quite a stretch from "as strong as America" to "the Israeli boy is the occupier..." Again you are very confident, but can you explain the logic to those of us who are less confident?

Talk to most Arabs and they want nothing to do with the Palestinians as refugees in their country. The Palestinians have been fighting the hardliners battles against the Jewish state ever since the others decided they would rather make money.Hamas knows that if it ever settled with Israel it would actually have to govern and it quite frankly can't.In the end all it can do is strike at Israel and Drake the money given to them by other countries. Israel will never be defeated by them and that is what is so dangerous. But now you have the old India divided into Pakistan and India at odds. Remember that when they were divided a million people were slaughter and it was the largest displacement in history as I recall.

Kind of like the New Orleans refugees. Nobody wants these "fine upstanding citizens" in their towns. I wonder why?

So you don't notice that the weapons each side has are lopsided? One has weapons from the most powerful country in the world such as F15s, tanks and can launch air strikes killing hundreds of people while the other side has homemade weapons and throws stones?

What about the daily human rights violations that Palestinians go through such as road blocks so they can't go to work or to the store. Not having running water, etc.

Also, if someone came to your home, put a gun to your head, and bulldoze it, wouldn't you defend yourself also?

* Well-armed and highly-motivated, Hamas forces are equipped with assault rifles and grenades. Some wear body armour and carry anti-tank weapons smuggled into the Gaza Strip through tunnels from Egypt or manufactured locally.

* Israel and the United States say Iran provides funding and specialised training to Hamas units. Hamas is believed to have built some fortified bunkers modelled on those used by Hezbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon.

* Hamas has called for a new uprising against Israel that would include suicide bombings in Israeli cities. With Gaza cordoned off, Hamas would be likely to turn to West Bank supporters, but many of them have been rounded up by Israel and Palestinian security forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas. Israeli security officials say the barrier the Jewish state is building in and around the occupied West Bank has made it harder to launch suicide operations from there.

Doesn't give Israel the right to purposely murder civilians.

They are already being reactionary to the terrorist organization would you just have them stand up on the fire squad?

I'm wondering if someone can explain why 7 Israeli lives are worth 220+ Palestinian lives? What makes them worth so much more?
