Their firepower isn't pathetic, its real and potentially devastating, IDF are simply decades ahead in terms of defensive technology..... you cannot just excuse the evil intent of one side, but castigate the other.

Unlike the terrorists of course....... or are some bad things acceptable?..... do you also excuse all the slaughter and mayhem committed in the name of the Palestinians?...... just wondering if your selectivity has boundaries, or do you just freely throw it around in a hail of ill informed rhetoric.

Vast numbers headed for the Holy Land, especially from Eastern Europe, long before the 1948 resolution ( war ended in May 45),.... but latterly Stalin and his followers made it their lifes work to persecute Jews in all the soon to be Eastern Bloc nations.

Nevertheless, the absence of global communism has meant that fundementalism ( of all flavours), with a little bit of economic migration, will mean that your neat lable of 'right-wing' politics in the US will continue to hold sway. This will not get any better over the next few generations with...

..... in a lot of cases, shipping themselves in..... you know!.. refugees.... just like those masses currently migrating from all points south and east to western Europe and beyond. Or would you say that there are degrees of 'refugee-ism', and that the Jews had less rights in seeking sanctuary...

Look, they are closely linked to Hamas, both recently, and historically,...they certainly have a rogue strategy that sometimes ruffles the Hamas leaderships' feathers, but there is no escapeing from the fact that the group( family) associate themselves with Hamas, and always have done.

I dont lazily use anything,....... stop with the cliche ridden keyboard warrior soundbites,.... go and read a little, of both flavours, then you will get to the middle ground, which is probably near the truth.

No its not,... even the Palestinian authorities agreed that the two named suspects, were the likely culprits,... both Hamas linked, both with a record of anti-israeli activities, both in hiding.

Good grief,........ I think you ought to stay put in your little dream world mate.

small???...... do a bit of research, Israel is receiving approx 6 missiles an hour, most fired from concealed positions in homes, schools, hospitals and Mosques,..... none of the actions or reactions are proportionate,.... but dont fall into the trap that this is one sided,... remember who...
