first of all it seems that you know very little about this conflict. You try to live with rockets fire on your cities or suicide bomers in malls and buses. Israel does not enjoy send their soldiers into battle, belive me, but you can not expect israel ignore their secearuty needs.
And ofcourse israelis thanks us for their milatry and civil supporte time after time, we aware to the fact that the us is our most impotant ally. but as pm netanyahu said (and belive me he does not fit to most of my politic views) "friend can disagree, but our relation with the united states of america is timeless"
(Full disclosure i am a proud zionist-israeli, that want to live peacfull life with th palastinaian)
I don't have to live there to know about it, any more than I have to live in California to understand what causes earthquakes.
I may not be an expert on this particular conflict (I have numerous other interests after all), but one doesn't have to be to know oppression when one sees it. Supported by rich folks from other countries who let you people take all the risks and do all the dirty work, you uprooted folks who'd lived in that land for centuries and took it over for your own based on ancestral territorial claims. Such claims have been one of the greatest sources of turmoil among different people all thru history. Claims based on religious grounds are especially annoying to me.
Of course you figure you're in the right. Because you wouldn't be able to handle thinking otherwise. Just as Americans don't want to think of all the genocide committed against the Native Americans, Australians don't want to think of the aborigines they treated the same way, and so on and so on. So you don't want to think of the Palestinians who have damned good reason to resent being invaded. As far as I can see it's little if any different than when Poland was invaded in 1938 with German cries of
labensraum. All the creation of Israel did was give the rest of the world a huge headache and give rise to the Islamic extremists who want to fly planes into buildings and blow up our embassies.
I'm not anti-semitic, and I am NOT attacking Jews when i say the world would be a better and more peaceful place had Israel never been re-established in the 20th century.
Dare to be different... and make a difference.
