You're assuming they aren't. At least in my case, (and many other people), that's not the case. Israel needs to get out of Palestine and off the West Bank--and take their so-called "settlers" with them.

It is the same idea. I mean the occupation is occupation. Palestine is a country occupied and its original citizens forced to leave their home country to live as refuges outside.
However, the difference here is that the Zionist occupation in Palestine has a strong media and affected strongly the media in the US. (It affects strongly the US foreign policy as well). There is a study accuses the pro-Israeli lobby, particularly AI-PAC of manipulating the U.S. media, policing academia and silencing critics of Israel. In the other hand, Palestinians have a fair issue but they don't have such a powerful media to support their issue.

It's because people have been brainwashed by news outlets :ie:All palestinians are terrorists,there is suicide bombings everyday,Israel is only defending herself etc..etc.The fact is the palestinians have every right to take up arms against an illegal occupation,an occupation that uproots olive grooves,shoots children in classrooms,kills journalists,peace activists and bulldozes innocent peoples homes just to humiliate and degrade and dehumanise the population they are occupying,Israel and it's sponsor the USA are the two biggest terrorist nations on this planet.
Try a search on google video for "peace,propoganda and the promised land.

I think your premise is incorrect. I think you will find that many of the same people that are against the liberation of Iraq are also against Israel holding on to the land allotted them by treaty. It's interesting how different perspectives cause different people to use different terms for the same situation, isn't it?

Because the USA does not occupy Palestine. Palestine is not a country. The international community does not recognize its government.

Easy. The Jewish are in control of the media and they are our allies. So everything you hear and read will be from the westen perspective. But some of us know the truth, the Jews have more money and power and white Christians want the home of Jesus to be a nation that they can have access to and not a Arab nation, so they have no problem with Supporting Israel.

Most people are against those who bomb marketplaces, schools, and religious facilities. You can pretty much lump the "insurgents" in Iraq and the "freedom fighters" in the Gaza and West Bank in that group.
Getting rid of them would pretty much solve any issues with so-called "occupations".

America is not a occupier, America is a liberator. As far as Palestine goes, Israel has made lots of concessions to the Palestinians. When they ( Palestinians ) decide they want peace, there will be peace.
