>> Do we justify every occasion with the excuse of "well, this isn't new"? Where does it stop? Or do we just accept it as part of the way things are? Not every occasion IS ethnic cleansing. Sometimes people just try to run away from the circumstances they find themselves in, which is what the majority of that refugee problem was. Be that as it may, you have to agree that what is happening in that region is quite different from what has happened in other areas. We have generation after generation of Palestinian kid being raised fueled with hatred of Jews. And in fact, practically everyone in the surrounding Arab states have this same hatred of Jews. They don't just want them gone they want them dead. Whatever your position is on the late 40s, you need to come to terms with the fact that the Jews aren't relocating to the Falklands, they're there to stay, they've repeatedly supported a two-state solution, and done everything humanly possible to avoid killing Palestinians. Still, you have Hamas beating the war drums. Israel will, as any other state would do, defend itself. It has put itself in a position to defend what is arguably the least defensible piece of land in the entire world. It has done so with no aggression, whatsoever -- only in response to a series of gutless attacks designed to cause these people leave the one place in the world that everyone pointed to and said, "Yes, you can go THERE. Not just anywhere, but right THERE." The very day after the end of British rule, seven Arab states colluded to attack them and somehow, Israel managed to defeat them. From that point forward, anything Israel did was in response to aggression from the Arabs. The Palestinians are nothing more than a tool of the Arab states, and that is on the Arabs, not the Jews.
