Entusiasmo: Are we talking about the 'small group' who regularly fire rockets into the 'nation so powerful'?
Palestinians are a larger group than the few committing acts of violence, there are thousands of people being abused every day in the illegally occupied territories, people having their homes demolished or just stolen, people who can't move freely and can't even complain when they get abused by their invaders. On the other hand if having some violent groups within your population justifies preventing you from having your country the israel wouldn't be here, did you ever read about Irgun, haganah and other armed Jewish movements?

I was quoting your own comments.
Illegally occupied is a matter of opinion, is it not?

Forgot about the War that was started by the Arab-League and the All-Palestinian Government against Israel in '48?
Conrad73: maybe reading Resolution 242 might help you!
funny that you mention a resolution that calls for israel to withdraw from the occupied territories. One more to the long list of UN resolutions violated by israel.

from Territories! Not from all Territories! Guess you'd be so smart and would withdraw from Territories in the middle of a war and give them back to people with which you barely have a Truce? Maybe,if you'd looked nothing changed after Israel gave back Land! Your Guys want it all! Hamas,Hezbollah,and also the PA are unequivocal about the Jewish State! Do you support that? Another Holocaust?

cherrygc: really? I thought that it was precisely the UN who declared the formation of israel.
so how come that same UN wasquiet at the Occupation of Jerusalem and the Westbank by Jordan! And also kept quiet at the desecrating of Jewish Shrines and the destruction of Synagogues and Cemeteries? Or is it only Occupation when the Jes do it?
Besides,this thread is about Iran and the US! Funny how you all always find a way to turn any Thread about the ME into an Israel-Bashing Thread! Doesn't say much about Israel,but a Lot about you Bashers!
Entusiasmo: then I can only suggest that you research your facts. I stick to my opinion, and you have yours, as I said, all a matter of ones own beliefs
Facts mean very little to those Bashers! You could start a Thread on Cooking,and they would find a way to turn it into an Israel-Bashing Thread! They can't help themselves!

godfish22: I see no evidence from anything Pops has said that justifies this statement. The fact is that Israel is a powerful, aggressive nation, as are many on this planet, who has committed many human rights offences against the Palestinian people. This is true and just because I state this fact does not make me a Jew Hater. This term is thrown about whenever anyone points out that Israel does not follow UN laws. If I disagree with US foreign policy that does not make me an American Hater, and if I state that all the Native Americans should be returned to their ancestral land and all who occupy it at present should be moved into refugee camps, that does not make me an American Hater either. Throwing such comments at people is rather childish Albertaghost and says not a lot for your mental wellbeing.
Sanity still prevails on earth no matter how much they lie. A perhaps "sanity" is something they can not occupy (like land) or kill with a gun.
ttom500: No, you are just going to disrupt the lives of 300m American living on what was native American soil. But let us not take into consideration, that much of the land was obtained by gift, agreement and trade. Or take into account, that many of the Indians tribes were even more bloody than any country on Earth today. "Tying someone the stakes" is not a saying that originated in Europe. But from the American west, were it literally happened.
WOW! gift? Can you gift me your land please? All of it?

Someone comes and throws you out of your home along with all your family and relatives, claiming they owned it a Millennium ago. Then demolished your house and makes sure to starve you.

What is your opinon?
Don't waste your time, when you have one troll stating that UN resolutions have no meaning and one functionally illiterate who can't understand the meaning of "Withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict", then you know there's no point in looking for serious debate. Just chill
