Another way to judge a cycle is to count corpses. Many more Palestinian men, women and children have been killed than Israelis. Palestinians have not only had their homes and fields and livelihoods taken away from them, they are subject to economic strangulation and punitive repressions. They cannot so much as dig a well for desperately needed water without Israeli military permission. Israel's is a harsh, tyrannical occupation that systematically deprives millions of Palestinians basic human rights. The Palestinians have justification to demand their inalienable rights. The Israeli's have no valid justification to deprive them of those rights. No American or Christian can legitimately dispute that.
