    I am not a Middle East scholar. I dabble and have interest. My thoughts are that the British gave a small portion of "Palestine" to the Jews because they were tired of the Irgun terrorizing them. Now legitimized, they, we, penalize the Palestinians because they use terror to attempt to gain freedom. We should all abhor terrorism.

    Why does the US support Israel so adamantly? I completely agree that we need a strong ally in the Middle East. But should we look the other way while our ally continuously, with our UN veto protection, defies resolutions regarding their actions and occupation? For biblical reasons? Is the political state of Israel the "great nation" of Abraham? And does the Christian faith support occupation and blockade of a people?

    I love Jews. I love Arabs. I love blacks, whites, Mexicans etc. But I'm growing weary of the one sided heavy handed treatment of the poor souls, who are not all terrorists, in Palestine.

    Thoughts...

    Since there is a difference between someone from Israel and someone who 'heard' about this and that, well, everyone can 'hear' different things, you can choose yourself.
    Common sense is to listen to both,

    There is a saying: Those who are compassionate to the cruel will end up being cruel to the compassionate.

    Attempting to break out of the control of a foreign power that controls one's land borders, air space and territorial sea, is a right of people under siege. A blockade is an act of war.

    Tiny Israel vs the powerful Palestinians? I don't follow that line of thinking.

    "Cruel" in this horrible conflict is a subjective term.
