If Americans Knew - what every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine

This is a great post, and I'm not saying the Israelis are more at fault than the Palestinians. My view is they're both equally doing immoral and wrong acts.

The number innocents murdered and houses destroyed only shows Israel has more money and power, I'm sure Palestinians would be doing the same thing if roles were reversed.

They both hold irrational hate-based bigotry towards each other.

 

[Kalam]

One population is glorified, held to be perpetually innocent of any and all wrongdoing, and surrounded with myths emphasizing their 'superior' qualities while another is portrayed as a monolithic and morally bankrupt group of inferiors who prey on the first group for no reason...

People are such fools.

They don't prey on them for no reason. Muslims are there to spread their evil religion at all costs.

I'm glad it didn't take long for someone to prove my point.
