suicide bomber is just 18
Have you ever wondered what makes an 18 year old so desperate that they make themselves a suicide bomber?

-Could it be the >65% unemployment and >50% poverty rate in Gaza and the West Bank caused by the military occupation and confinement from Israel. Are the Palestinians without hope for a future?

-Could it be that Israel has long denied the Palestinians of basic human rights such as timely medical care, housing (Israel has bulldozed many Palestinian homes illegally to build Jewish settlements.), and resources?

-Could it be that Israel has done everything possible to make daily life extremely difficult for the Palestinian people? (One example is the multiple check points Palestinians must go through to reach areas with hospitals etc....).

By denying that Israel has denied Palestine basic human rights is to deny human rights PERIOD. This is a step back for mankind!

Denial of a problem was what ultimately led to the Holocaust!



Denial
A favorite technique of extreme leftists and Islamic extremists (ie Achmadinajad) is to equate, explicitly or implicitly, the mideast situation with the Holocaust. Their purpose is to delegitimize Israel's existence.

It is a disgusting and abhorrent technique. This poster should be ashamed.

They then forced the boy to walk in front of them in the town, it said. When the soldiers came under fire, "the boy remained in front of the group," the report said.

2) Affter a tank round struck near a house, a father and his two sons -- both younger than 11 -- emerged to look at the damage.

"As they exited their home, IDF soldiers shot and killed them (at the entrance to their house), with the daughter witnessing," the report said.

3) "Israeli soldiers entered a family house in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City. Standing at the doorstep, they asked the male head of the household to come out and shot him dead, without warning, while he was holding his ID, hands raised up in the air, and then started to fire indiscriminately and without warning into the room where the rest of the family was huddled together.

"The eldest son was shouting in vain the word 'Children' in Hebrew to warn the soldiers. The shooting did not stop until everyone was lying on the floor. The mother and four of the brothers, aged 2-12 years, had been wounded, one of them, aged 4, fatally."

4) 431 Palestinian Children killed
The establishment of israel was itself a crime, so they have been committing crimes every day since April 14, 1948.

No I don't deny anything. I am not ignorant like some people. I realize that both sides are to blame. I also realize that the people paying the price on both sides are not the people making the decisions in any way.

Now let's see how genuine you are. Are the Israeli innocent people that are killed by suicide bombers just casualties or are they also innocents killed by terrorist? Do you have any sympathy for what Israel has to go through living among people that want them wiped off the face of the planet?

Oh and BTW the UN is a corrupt organization and it is well documented.

I agree with what the responder is saying, and I support Israel's existence.

This assertion is lost among the diehard apologist race baiters.

Israel is a military industrial theocracy that is more concerned with power, territory and money than anything else. If the world has decreed a "homeland" for the Jews should the world decree a "homeland" for all the other faiths? I wonder where they would put the Christian "homeland".

At least this one is honest. The Israel haters' posts on this forum are meant not to criticize, but to delegitimize the State of Israel. Israel's very existence is a crime. Therefore any action by Israel, no matter how legitimate, is a crime.
