I live in northern San Diego, about 45 minutes to the Mexican border. If we had people coming over the border, blowing themselves up in public places and killing people, and those people were being trained and encouraged by the government of Mexico, I would support a decisive military situation. Things are different with Israel and Palestine.

Mani, things aren't really so different. In your hypothetical situation the Mexicans would not be blowing themselves up to kill Americans if they did not perceive some injustice. The Palestinians also perceive injustice. Most of the rest of your post is about how the perceived injustice is actually a real injustice. I even agree that there is and has been some real injustice from Israel's side, although I probably don't think it is quite as bad as you do and I think there is more justification for it then you seem to think. But even if I accepted your version of how unjust Israel is it wouldn't make it any different from your Mexican suicide bomber scenario.
