"the Israelis have one of the most productive economies in the world."

It is easy when you are a colony of the West and have a key to the military supply houses, college and corporate technology labs and can transfer patents to yourself for your use.


Where you got hooked with that fallacy is beyond my ability to fathom. It is true that Israel has had better and earlier access to US military systems. Often when denied access to the latest systems Israelis have responded by making systems improvements themselves. There have been several iterations fo Israeli upgrades that are superior to American systems.

"Excusing Arabs for wishing to exterminate the Jewish people is not something I am willing to do."

I see you have swallowed the bait. Any action against the invaders/colonists has become an act of hatred and a genetic desire to kill Jews. In other words, the Isra'Elis have carved out for themselves a great shield to hide behind.


So your position is that it is ok to destroy Israel because they have returned to their home land made barren and turned it prosperous and it should be returned to being barren?

"you blame the victims."

Doggon it, if the Israelis wouldn't viciously stop the shrapnel of the innocently self detonating Palestinians all would be calm.
