Kash,

The reason for the current HATE is obvious.
They essentially lost their country when Israel was created.


I think there should be a freedom of conscience, and I think people should be free to hate anyone as much as their heart desires. But acting on the hate is something different. There are laws on the books, commandments, natural law, you name it, they all say murder is off limits.

As far as justification of Palestinians, they have ZERO justification for terror they are committing daily. Let me give you an example from CIA fact-book about Slovakia, where I am from:

Ethnic groups: Slovak 85.7%, Hungarian 10.6%, Gypsy 1.6% (the 1992 census figures underreport the Gypsy/Romany community, which is about 500,000), Czech, Moravian, Silesian 1.1%, Ruthenian and Ukrainian 0.6%, German 0.1%, Polish 0.1%, other 0.2% (1996)

Every one of these minorities either once had a country and lost it, never had a country, the territory of their former country was taken by someone. Yet, nobody is committing any suicide murder attacks. If there is anyone who deserve support of American taxpayer, Palestinians are in the very last place.

There are many forms of acceptable resistance, but what Palestinians are doing is totally unacceptable. If a penny goes to Palestinians, you are basically rewarding a murderous acts, and discriminating against all other potential groups around the globe which may have grievances, but still maintain a level of civility.
