Since I can't do it in person, just imagine the violin playing for you...perhaps even by a Palestinian crossing the road...you can say whatever you want, the fact remains that Israel is engaged in atrocities. This is not open to dispute. If it makes you feel better that some decent Israelis are disgusted by such actions, then we have something in common. However you have little in common with them...btw, what are the Israeli deaths due to Palestinian actions?

"Israel, meantime, was built, and got rich (after they gave up socialism) by creation and invention and decent governance, having no resources to speak of but their people." The people of Israel have worked hard to develop their resources. However, they had a teensie bit of help... "Israel is by far the largest recipient of US foreign aid. The US financial support to Israel has been exceeding the three billion mark per year since 1985, the majority of which is in military aid. Israel, which is not economically self sufficient and relies on foreign assistance and borrowing to maintain its economy, has been the single highest annual recipient of US aid since 1976, and is the largest cumulative recipient of foreign assistance since WWII.

Ah, yes, the reliable warmed-over Marxism of the Euro-left. "The Israelis are richer and have more guns, it must be all their fault! They could only have got rich by stealing it from the Palestinians anyway, since nobody ever creates wealth" You miss the point Nadine. The Jews who migrated to Israel from the concentration camps after WW2 brought all their worldly possessions. If you dont believe me just ask this thread's moe, larry and curly. Mike
