"The only side they've been on is the side of Israel" That is what I would expect of Israel. Do you think the Palestinians are on Israel's side? Israel will at least work towards peace. More than can be said about the Palestinians. "The rest was to be the basis for a Palestinian state." Didn't they reject it? "No good will come of Bush's change in direction!" Kerry just unequivically aggreed with it on Meet the Press. So no reason to vote for him in that regard. " The Muslims are not going away......they number over 1 billion people and they occupy over 1/3 of the earth's land mass" I don't think all 1 billion of them are terrorists or support the terrorists. So in an all out war of ideoligies (civilization vs. terrorism), not all 1 billion (not even a majority imo) will side with the terrorists who openly state they want to end our way of life. "First, do you think the Palestinians attacked first?" No. I think they sheepishly got our of the way so Egypt and Syria and the others could ELIMINATE Israel and give the Palestinians the land. A nad move on their behalf, and their conditions have worsened ever since. "If the Palestinians are so destructive, how come so many more of they are dying?" Because they are fighting a far superior opponentent. Doesn't say much for the intelligence (or compassion) of those that insist on killing innocents. Stupid, inhumane, barbaric and LOSING strategy. The radical leaders don't give a whit about young Palestinian men and women dying so they can make political points with those like you, and many of the appeasing Euro nations. Otherwise they would not lie to and bribe the youngsters into suicidal missions that kill more of their own than of the other sides. Who can support killing innocent civilians as legitimate? Nobody. As soon as those like you realize that and take the public support from those tactics, the sooner peace can be had. "Just as the American colonists fought the Brits so do the Palestinians fight the Israelis......." Don't be a dolt. These guys gave up their land to allow Israel to be attacked. Americans left Europe because they didn't like how they were treated, and when England came to take this land, they were beat. Won't happen with Israel. To be just the same, it would have been like Americans going back to England and trying to take England for their own. You can see the difference, can't you? "Israel is a developed country....first world and a regional superpower.......why should we continue to subsidize them? " I would use the word support instead of subsidize. And I will repeat the difference between me and you again. Supporting your friends and allies is a noble thing. If we abandoned Israel as you suggest the mid-east would be a real mess. Israel would be in an all out war, and MILLIONS would die.
