Why is it that Israel is permited to do what they want with Palestinians and get away with it... I've been on this topic for a few days now and haven't had a single person give me a single solid argument - for or against this... Does anyone have some form of an answer that has some fact? (I know facts and truths are rare in this day and age... "It is safer to live in a dictatorship as you know what the propaganda that is fed to you is. In a democracy, you are fed propaganda and led to believe that you have freedom of choice... I guess Bush and Iraq/Afghanistan was no propaganda as far as WMDs)
My blog speaks about this and I would love to continue this without the stupid time constraints of Yahoo answers...

The defenition of genocide is known to me. The problem I have is with people like you that cannot grasp the idea that freedom of speach in canada, and the us, allows for this answer...

boston's school situation appalls me. I don't understand why they should segregate people, it only creates an us Vs them mentality. This said, the situation in Palestine is no different except that there are innoscent people dying there...

“We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”
I guess that also applies to the Israelis, or are they too good for that too...

First, learn what a genocide actually is and preferrably not by asking another stupid question on Yahoo. Second, do your own research and come up with your own conclusion. This forum does not allow for the answer you are seeking.

it's ironic that you use anti-propaganda quotes while claiming there is a palestinian genocide going on.
somebody's been feeding YOU propaganda. there is no palestinian genocide happening. the very idea that a population whose growth rate per year is DOUBLE that of the united states is currently the victim of genocide and has been for decades is the most moronic thing i've ever heard. please point out to me any other genocide in the history of planet earth in which the victims actually multiplied like rabbits instead of being systematically eliminated. that's the opposite of genocide. it's an ungenocide, if you will.

The facts of the matter is that the People calling themselves Palestinians are in fact refuges and nomads from Syria and not the true Palestinians. They are basically squatters in the Gaza strip that disagree with the Israeli government. Every time Israel takes action to defend itself against the terrorist coming from this group it has all of the worlds eyes coming down upon them. I have yet to see anything I would even consider calling genocide. How many bombs should the Israeli people have to deal with? How do you effectively deal with a rouge group of people that are claiming rights to your country? I think they have shown more restraint then can be imaginable. The Palestinians people need to return to their country and get out of Israel. That is what would be best for their people.

I believe the burden of proof is upon you to prove what you assert, instead of the other way around. You have yet to prove that what Israel does is considered genocide.
To do that you must: a) providce a definition of genocide that is well agreed upon (i.e. not a definition you've invented for your convinience) b) Point to specific actions that Israel has taken that prove this contention, also taking into considerations the circumstances involved in each specific case. As far as point b is concerned, you'll have to go with well reported cases, e.g. not cases where all we see is some Hamas spokesman spouting their typical talking points.
Until you do that, then none of us have to say anything.
You point to your blog, but to be honest, life is short and I'm not inclined to read it. Since you're the one suffering us with your inane "questions" then you should make your point here.

First of all it is my belief that Israel is only responding to violence with violence. In so many years that Israel has been a recognized country they have made very few advances as far as antagonistic violence is concerned. It could also be looked at that the Palestinian fighters do not wear uniforms and fire from crowds or from populated areas in order to deter the Israelis from firing back. It is also worth mentioning that however brutal the Israeli military may seem, they are only responding to an equal amount of brutality aimed in their direction.

If Israel were committing genocide, there would be no Palestinians left anywhere!
Why is it that the Palestinian population is increasing at such a rapid rate despite the alleged genocide? They will soon overcome Israel simply by their growth.

Please get your facts right first then ask a STUPID question like this!
First there has NEVER been a country in the history of the world, dating back to the Egyptians 2200BCE when they started recording history, and the terrorist who call themselves the PLO are the ones who daily shoot rockets into the towns of Israel and not the other way around!
The news or so called journalist continue to show only what Israel has done in self defense rather than what the true terrorist are doing and have done!
Go back to your history teacher and tell them to try to teach the truth for ONCE and learn right form wrong!

Why are the Boston Public Schools permitted to remain segregated (86% black & hispanic) despite the 1964 Racial Imbalance Act forbidding segregation?

Shame on Israel and the Jewish people who invaded Palestine, threw out the Palestinians and keep them terrorised and in misery! They are not much better than the nazis or sowjets.
