>> Our society allows women to vote and work in government and run companies etc <<

so what! we didn't used to let women vote. does that mean pre-emptive attacks on the united states were justifiable prior to 1920?

>> We are pluralistic and tolerant <<

what has that got to do with anything!

>> It is a joke to say that we should look at our own moral compass in comparison to others <<

the bible doesn't think it is a joke: Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

>> little to lose? again, they are living in poverty and losing children to suicide and being killed by the Jewish military. I would say they have lost quite a bit. <<

my forefathers didn't think twice about sacrificing their lives for freedom. obviously the palestinians feel their sons and daughters lives are worth it as well.

>> It has been working lately. Kuwait, Kosovo, Afghanistan <<

thanks for helping make my point. everywhere american troops go and camp out peace and order supposedly follows. why don't we just occupy every nook and cranny of the globe with our sons and daughters to ensure peace by force. do you think that is what our founding fathers envisioned when they fought for independence?

>> welcome to a tolerant society where people are judged by their accomplishments and not by their family's religion <<

here we go again, the claim that jews should only be defined by their religion. nice try, except there is just one flaw in your logic. israel doesn't see it that way when applying their immigration policy, so why should i apply a different standard?

>> not judging people by their skin color or religion is the sign of a successful culture. <<

then according to your standards, israel is not a successful culture. they do just exactly that.
