I am reading lots of Q&A about Israel rights, what about the Palestinians rights as humans living in the same planet under the same rules. I did some search to get some info about the recent conflict, I was surprised to find out that Israel is the only occupier left on this planet and the Palestinians are the only people living under occupation! It is very troubling to me that my Tax money is going to the wrong side! Aren’t we fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan ….etc. to promote freedom & support freedom fighters around the world?

Yes, they have a Right to Freedom, everyone does...but that is not their agenda:
Arab and Jewish Refugees. In 1948 the Arab refugees were encourage to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms.
The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Of the 100 million refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
The Arab - Israeli Conflict. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
The P.L.O.'s Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land autonomy under the Palestinian Authority and has supplied them with weapons.

I Think the question of right is important for every body living in this world Palestinians as well as Israelites need set down their differences for a sincere dialogue war would only bring damage upon damages. People need really a sincere talk, setting things in a right way in both sides. The South African experience of the Truth Reconciliation Commission (TRC) could be a model for Israel and Palestine conflict. Inoncentes civilians are being killed there necissity of dialogue and immediate ceasefire

The Palestinians wouldn't have to defend themselves if they could learn one simple truth...don't promote and support terrorist activities against Israel and Israel wouldn't retaliate.
As for the Israeli occupied territories that you're so upset about--do a little research and you'll learn that those territories became occupied during one of the several wars that were started (...and lost) by one or more Palestinian/Arabic states.
You reap what you sow!

I believe they should have their freedom and Israel should let them. I don't believe they should allow terriorist to live there. This is what is wrong. The innocent people must suffer for a few men who want to play bully. They don't care about themselves like we do. They don't value human lives and anyone who thinks that women are nothing should get what they put out. Hell is really getting full these days.
