@Stake8Junior

maybe because your grandma wasnt under foreign occupation for over 60 years.

What happend to a some jews in for Europe for a while dont give them the right to go do worse to some other people in another continent.

bunch of day dreams that live in the US and compare the Israelies to the Nazis... well, i dont remember my grandma in auschwitz going with TNT belt trying to blow german buses nor firing rockets at Munich.

We need more people like these two men - particularly on the Israeli side. Stop your war crimes Israel!

@EmoreButts 20% of Isrealis are arabs who vote, have parliment members, and are equal under the Law. In Jordan, Jews can not live by law. Get your facts straight before you condemn. No Jew in any Muyslim country has the rights muslims do in Israel.

60 years? I guess you're counting from 1948 then. And what was Palestine before 1948? It was "occupied" by the British. No, what bothers the Arabs is that Jews live there. If it was Syria, or Egypt, which parts were, they didn't call it occupayion. Only because it's Jews do they complain. Other, much larger arab and muslim groups live under "occupation". Like the Kurds, or the Shiites in Saudi Arabia. No problem with that.

@azkeyz

Yes but "fighting for your existence" does NOT mean looking DOWN on others because they are not Jews.... This is a ridiculous fantasy to begin with so when an atheist like me sees people acting a certain way when their god is pure fiction is both hilarious and pathetic.

@aleebaabaa

At the very least... The Jews have shown a cruelty and blatant disregard for those who are not Jews. It makes one less sympathetic for their plight in during WW 2 which also killed 50 million NON jews.

@aleebaabaa

wow, so-called occupation is worse than gassing one 3rd of an entire nation.

great logic mate!

do you know how many casualties the palestinians had since 1947? less than one quarter of all iraqi casualties since the US invasion in 2003.

nothing to be proud of course... but sheds a new light on your mental case: "Palestinianism".

it is good to know that there are people like you in this world , you give us hope , you two r to be respected a lot , bravo , bravo , bravo , i join my voice to yours , and hope we ll be heard .

Here I stand knowing that violence is never the solution.

For those on the fence in this matter I urge you to consider that yes christ called moses a theif and robber but this does not make the following statement untrue.

You are allowed to fight for your existence.

You do not have the right to refuse to fight for your existence when it is under threat it's called self defence.

I'm sure you can figure things out from there.

fuck off idiots , go get fucked by the palaestinians, idiots
