It just is. You are too ignorant to waste my time explaining it, so just take my word for it, alrighty?
The U.S. has been telling them not to do what's right.
HOW many times do I have to 'splain this? Israel displaced "Palestinans" (actually, Jordanians and Syrians) AFTER they were PHYSICALLY ATTACKED by those countries. Under internationally accepted standards of war, if a nation is attacked, and they win the war, they get what they conquered. Go look it up if you don't believe me.

Unfortunately he is not alone in his ridiculous opinions on the arab - Israeli conflict. Some of the crap that has been written by uninformed yet opinionated journalists really makes me mad.
It is painfully obvious that many journalists don't even bother trying to report facts anymore, they just use their position as a pulpit to affect those readers who are gullible enough to believe that journalists are completely objective people with no aggendas to advance.
About 200.
Considering the small size of the population of Israel versus ours, it is like the U.S. losing 12,000 people to suicide bombings and shootings. I don't think we'd stand for it.
Arafat is at this stage no more than a Palestinian Uncle Tom, an old-fashioned Stalinist with an overblown international reputation.
Is this not a racist commment - yet they call Israel a racist state?
Any attempt to criticise the state terrorism of Israel brings instant cries of "anti-Semitism". The reality is that Israel's mistreatment of Palestine and the Palestinians is itself anti-Semitic.
Anti-Semitism is defined in the dictionary as Jew-hating. To call Israel's (so-called) mistreatment of Palestine and the Palestinians anti-Semitic is just so dumb. PS - How can you be anti-Semitic TO A PLACE? D'oh!
It's amazing to me that swill like this get published. It's no better than the goofy rants I read here by the nutballs.
That said, this article is a piece of propeganda. The intifada was started by the Palestinians, and after a lot of trial and effort to get them to stop, it looks like it will be up the Israelis to end it. It is very sad if innocent girls die, but this is a war, and in war there is a lot of chicanery. One side will take positions in schools and hospitals to draw fire in order to later claim that the other side attacks schools and hospitals.
This little girl's death is sad, but it is no more sad than the deaths of those in the disco and pizza parlour. In those cases, innocent people were deliberately targeted for death. I don't see that this little girl was the target for the attack, only a sad collateral death in the war. There is a huge difference that is apparantly lost on the Irish... who's 'freedom fighters' have been known to deliberately target innocent people themselves.
