I note you include Northern Ireland as another place you support terrorism. It's nice you don't restrict it to Israel. I wonder if you're disappointed in the Scots and Welsh (and many other peoples around the world) which don't have terrorist movements? Do you also think Gandhi and Martin Luther King were offbase with that non-violence stuff? Perhaps instead of lunch counter sit-ins, King's SCLC should have been brainwashing young impressionable people to sneak nail bombs into crowded lunch counters and blow them up? Or maybe Rosa Parks should have carried a bomb on that bus and blown it up - you know, just like the peaceful Palestinians.

"..most Palestinians are simply struggling to support their families somehow, and are not radical terrorists. However, it is understandable that they support the people who are fighting for their cause. It does seem inhumane to separate families, to separate men from their plots of farmland, to separate people from medical care. Many Palestinians have died since the wall went up because they cannot get urgent and emergency care. " The reason for the wall is Palestinian terrorism. That is what you should blame.

" am quite sure that the Europeans countries, America, and probably countries like Australia and New Zealand would all offer to take in the Jews who live in Israel now."

You think so? Why didn't they when it was a matter of life and death?

And there is a major problem with what you are advocating - America, Australia, and New Zealand are all colonial settler states built on another people's land too. Speaking of which, do you plan to leave America yourself? If not why not?

BTW did you read your long post on riots in 1929? It actually shows anti-Jewish riots were very widespread in Palestine and the Arabs were the aggressors:

"On September 1, Sir John Chancellor condemned "the atrocious acts committed by bodies of ruthless and bloodthirsty evildoers... murders perpetrated upon defenseless members of the Jewish population... accompanied by acts of unspeakable savagery."

Commission of Enquiry
A commission of enquiry lead by Sir Walter Shaw took public evidence for several weeks. The main conclusions of the Commission were as follows. [Material not in brackets is verbatim.]

The outbreak in Jerusalem on the 23rd of August was from the beginning an attack by Arabs on Jews for which no excuse in the form of earlier murders by Jews has been established.
The outbreak was not premeditated.
[The disturbances] took the form, in the most part, of a vicious attack by Arabs on Jews accompanied by wanton destruction of Jewish property. A general massacre of the Jewish community at Hebron was narrowly averted. In a few instances, Jews attacked Arabs and destroyed Arab property. These attacks, though inexcusable, were in most cases in retaliation for wrongs already committed by Arabs in the neighbourhood in which the Jewish attacks occurred. "
