You should be able to answer this question, correctly, yourself. Jews have been persecuted for centuries. Israel has been set up as a place for Jews to live in freedom. That is Israel's mandate, as it should be. << ... using them as a fund-raising tool for the colony? >> What a great reason to raise funds! Imagine..... A people, enduring endless persecution, finally having one very small place in the world, where they would be free. Ask yourself why so many Jews want to leave other countries to come to Israel, even though they might have to fact death at the hands of Arab terrorists. << It is plain that the Zionists do not and have not cared about Palestinians. >> Oh, yes they have. Zionists have cared enough about the Palestinians to have defended themselves from years of murderous attacks by the Palestinians. The Arabs greet Jews with guns, the Jews care enough to fire back. Isn't that the way it should be? << ... their ultimate goal is to completely control them if they cannot run them off to Jordan or elsewhere. >> The Palestinians have shown that they cannot live in a civilized society. They deserve nothing. Run them off to Syria, not Jordan. Jordan doesn't deserve to be punished. << You are blaming the victims and calling those who speak up for them haters and worse. >> When you refer to the Palestinians as the victims of the Jews, it is an obvious lie. It is absurd. If the Palestinians would stop killing and attacking Jews, Israel and the Palestinians could work together for the common good of all people.
