No. These are human beings that were pushed out of a homeland that Jews abandoned centuries ago, and believed they had some God-given right to when they took it back by force. This doesn't excuse terrorism and violence by the Palestinians, though it explains their anger. We as Americans were no better, though, as we cleared our own "promised land" of natives by force and by starving them into submission.
At this point, neither party is going anywhere, and it's unfortunate that neither the Conservative Israelis nor the militant Palestinians have any compassion or respect for human life and dignity.

Some people are in need of a history lesson. The Jews did not abandon Israel, they were forced out. They were there before the Palestinians so who owns it is very blurred. Those who were there before the Jews are impossible to identify as an homogeneous group.
Then, of course Israel has a right to defend itself. The Palestinians have frequently in the past, and Hamas still do, swear to eradicate Israel. Are some of you proposing Israel should say 'OK, wipe us out.'? Maybe if the Palestinians would renounce violence and step into the twenty-first century, progress could be made.

The Pal. have been offered peace many times and have refused, they reap what they sow as far as I am concerned. I also watch as Sharon had his people moved out of the Gaza which was very sad, he said Pal take this land and let us live in peace. What did the Pal do as soon as they got there, yes they started firing rockets at Israel again. Pal as *** clowns that never seem to miss an opportunity to make themselves look like fools to the world.

Of course. Palestine and the palestinians are harboring terrorists and anyone doing this deserves to be eradicated from the face of the Earth. Weed out your terrorists and Israel will embrace you. No more no less. Clean up your trash if you expect sympathy in this world.

If the Palestinians would stop shooting rockets into Israel, they would leave them alone. Also, the digging around the mosque, the idiot palestinians are using as another excuse to raise hell. In my opinion, Israel hasn't been harsh enough with those maggots!
Oh, I am sorry I didn't answer. YES, I approve!

Yes I do... I suggest you check out more than a handful of news sources before forming your opinion...If they`ll let you do that where you are. Propaganda can be very powerful.

No. The occupation in Gaza is the cause of many problems in the region.
