<< ... all countries were like Israel, they would be building settlements inside their neighbor's territory. >>

Any country that is repeated attacked by it's neighbors, is going to fight back. In Israel's case, after many Arab wars against them, and decades of being attacked from the West Bank hills overlooking Israel, Israel finally struck back and took the West Bank.

The warlike, religious hatred, shown by the Arabs, didn't start with Israel occupying the West Bank. The terrorists and Arab maddogs were striking at Israel's citizens for decades.

<< It's hard to find anyone with views as one-sided as Thomas. >>

Look in a mirror. Faulting a nation for trying to protect it's borders, without looking into the history of the region, is one-sided.

Do you feel that this would be a much better and peaceful world if all nations were like the Palestinians?
