I believe that you have not seen misery, poverty, lack of hope and having their land taken from them as they have. These are desperate people who have nothing left to lose.

You're really wrong about this. The problem isn't their desperation, it is in fact their culture -- one of violence and killing.

There are populations on earth who are at least as desperate yet don't resort to the arbitrary killing of innocent children. This is inhuman behavior, and you can't rationalize it, no matter how liberal you are.

Alighieri Re...These are desperate people who have nothing left to lose. <<<

And just why do you think that is? Almost every nationality or country, which has lost a war, or engaged in war on their territory, has been left with nothing left to lose. Do you really feel that the people of Dresden had more left than the people of Hebron. Or how about the people of Hiroshima, were they any less destitute or desperate. The difference is that those people knew when to give it up and get on with rebuilding their life. The Palestinians are being used as a pawn to further the stupid jihad, and the other arab leaders interests. When the Palestinians decide to live in peace, that is when they will be able to rebuild, and accumulate wealth.
