Then, people act surprised when the people whose land was stolen get angry

The suicide bombers are part of an organized force that deserves to dealt with stearnly. i was not talking about them and you know it. I was talking about the kids on the street that throw rocks at the Israeli soldiers who then shoot those kids in the head with the weapons the US provides them.

Then you must also call Israel a terrorist state because they do the same thing. Interestingly and to be fair, so does the US. Again, Israel puts people in camps, but I guess that is okay with you.
No, Britain wasnt fighting the Arabs in WWII, dont be snide. That area has always been of strategic importance because of the OIL, which was needed for planes and vehicles during the war effort. Britain had units all over that part of the world, especially Africa. Britain occupied and controlled quite a lot of land as you well know And, it was NOT to screw the Arabs out of anything but rather to carve out for the Jews a place in their OWN HOMELAND that dictated the location. PUH LEEZ.

as for your assertion that Israeli soldiers shoot kids who throw rocks, I dont believe that is right, and I dont support that.

Im telling you that the Jews have (IMO) a more legitimate claim to that part of the middle east than the Arabs do, historically speaking. The Arabs think it is theirs because they captured it from the Israelites and controlled it during the long span of the Ottoman Empire. The Israelites returned the favor during the 6 days war. I want to be very clear, I believe Israel has the right to exist and they also have a right to defend themselves.

As for the camps.......do you honestly think Jews would even get THAT good of treatment from the Palestinians? The short answer is NO. As far as the Arabs are concerned, the only good Jew is a DEAD Jew, and they wouldnt even be lucky enough to live in a camp.
