... I think that's a bit of a stretch Zonder..
Yes, a stretch. They are not gassing Palestinians, of course :-)
Still, there is discrimination, humiliation, oppression, bombs falling from the sky on homes where women and children die, etc. Ask yourself if an Arab can ever find a seat in the "Jewish" state of Israel, and I think we have the answer to the prejudices re "race and religion".
Especially given the racist and segregationist attitudes amongst Palestinians/Arabs towards Jews..
And that's an exuse? "Attitude" is an excuse for oppression, occupation, and less than equal treatment?
After all, for many years (and I believe part of PA law), it is a CAPITAL OFFENSE to sell property to a Jew. That means the Palestinian owner will be EXECUTED for selling land to a Jew.
Really? How come Jews bought so much of the land, then.
Don't mistake limited retaliation against non-Israelis as persecution
Did you not hear of the bomb that dropped on a Palestinian home killing more than a few people who had nothing to do with the conflict? And why do you think quite a few hundred Israeli soldiers refuse to serve in the occupied territories, saying (and I quote) "We shall not continue to fight beyond the 1967 borders in order to dominate, expel, starve and humiliate an entire people." ?
