Anyone who defends themselves looks bad if you disregard what they are defending against.



What does Israel defending herself have to do with Israel constructing settlements in continued violation of agreements and UN mandates?

Agreements between who and who? Between the Israelis and the Palestinians? Those were all voided as soon as the Palestinians sent their next barrage of rockets at Israel. You can't selectively try to hold Israel to them when the Palestinians treat them like toilet paper.

Why do you think UN mandates matter?

It was a UN mandate that made the existence of Israel possible.

It's kinda funny in a sad way, or sad in a funny way. I can't tell.

Israel has way over played the 'anti-Israel' card. Whenever I see that, I read 'anti-Jewish'.

Being Jewish doesn't give them the right to do whatever they want.

No it didn't. Israel existed thousands of years before the UN. It may exist thousands of years after the UN is gone.

It's existence does not depend on the UN.

So according to you Palestinians have no right to defend themselves from invasion and occupation.


Such hate and ignorance...

There was a nation called Israel 2000 years ago. It is not the same Israel that exists today, and it should not be treated as such.

Israel is a modern creation, and that is how it should be treated.

By your logic the South East still belongs to the Cherokee.
