No they didn't. Any Palestinian who once had a home in what is now Israel, must be over 70 years old by now (the Israeli War of Independence was in 1947). Their children and grandchildren don't count.

This "Palestinian refugee" thing is bogus. If the countries around them who house these "refugees" care about them, they'd integrate them into their states and give them full rights, a job, a home and so on (much like the Israelis did with Jews who were kicked out of Arab countries in the 1940s). They don't want to do that because it will lead to normalisation of relations with Israel, which is the last thing they want.

The Israelis would not tolerate the consumption of human flesh for an instant.

The Israelis would support us, for the same reason that the Malachim (the messengers of the Lord) gave a hand to Lot and his family.

Israel is far more technologically advanced in the realm of weaponry (we (the U.S.) did pay for them, by the way) and actually has a decent EWS (Early Warning System). Palestine has neither (sure, they have rockets, but nothing nearly as advanced as Israel). More Palestinian civilians are being killed than Israelis, yet Israel claims to be the victim, regardless of the incidents in which they started the conflicts.


It seems to me what you're saying is that if someone attempts murder, but is unsuccessful, then somehow they are not as bad as someone who attempts murder and is successful. In a very perverse way, such thinking rewards incompetence or in this case lack of sophisticated weaponry.

If someone made repeated attempts to kill your loved ones, but was successful in doing so only somewhat infrequently, would you continue to let them try and do nothing about it?

As for Israel being the victims, its very plain to see that they are. The Palestinians consistently attempt to kill Israeli civilians, deliberately targeting them. Israel has sought only to destroy the means by which the Palestinians have been doing this - rocket depots, rocket launchers, weapons smuggling tunnels, etc. The Palestinians intentionally place these things near civilians, and when civilians inevitably die in Israeli strikes, people are suckered in to blaming the Israeli's and sympathizing with the Palestinians. Its absurd.


Oddly humorous, the manner in which you derive your conclusion that I am supporting the Palestinians (and supporting murder) when all I said is the fact that Israel is far better armed and prepared (courtesy of the United States) and often antagonizes the Palestinians, then complains when they strike back (Palestine is guilty of "poking the dragon" as well). You have only used a small portion of my entire comment (page eight) to justify your accusations (that I somehow support murder), without taking into consideration the entirety of my statement. I stated that both sides are guilty of murdering civilians and both sides need to negotiate in order for any progress to occur. As far as targeting civilians goes, both sides are guilty of such. Both sides have a mutual hatred for one another and the fact that the U.S. is involved in these affairs has done nothing but cause even more atrocities. :roll:

In Gaza there is no clear differentiation between a civilian and a warrior. The Hamas thugs do not have a uniform nor are the a well ordered militia. By the classic rules of war, virtually every male in Gaza of military age can be regarded as a -franc tireur.

I was using cannibalism as an example, not to be taken literally.
