I think its Israel that wants to be left alone. I don't see them sending their children as bombs to kill innocent Arabs.,or Americans as in 911, or as they are doing now in Iraq to American soldiers. If innocents die because Israel has to defend themselves, its the Arabs fault. Israel has not been over holding the Iraqi people hostage, but they are being blamed for the war, not only by the Arabs, but by people like you. Jews did not load themselves on cattlecars,(as you stated on FR) Hitler did.

I agree that there are many crimes being committed against innocent Israelis in the name of Palestinian "independence," and it is inexcusable.

When Israel moves against terrorists, I applaud them, and consider that for the most part we are making common cause.

But Israel has, IMO, used this as a pretext for harming innocents themselves. It is no secret that they wish to take land that was taken by them in war, but which has always been inhabitted by people who in many cases had no quarrel with anyone but were unfortunate enough to be Arabs.

I personally know of a couple of such instances, and it is WRONG. It is wrong to bulldoze homes owned free and clear by Palestinian Arabs who have done nothing, but who are being victimized because Israel claims it has a right to protect itself.

If the government here insisted on doing these things within our borders, many here would scream. But it's okay if Israel does it?

I'm consistent. It isn't okay when ANYONE does this.
