If they can't support or defend themselves without murdering others, they don't deserve to be an independent nation. Israel can survive fine even if America cut off every dollar of foreign aid and still be able to defend itself against all of its aggressive neighbors.

Palestinians are very peaceful for how many people live there and the situation they are in. It could be A LOT worse, if all Palestinians revolted there would be A LOT more than a few deaths a month.

Also, you and Rzkenrage have threatened to shoot at the government if they take your guns away, you can not seriously tell me that you wouldn't be blowing shit up if they forcefully relocated you and everyone you love then throw you in a cage where you have no hope for a peaceful life. Most Palestinians are peaceful people who are just being screwed over and then you have others trying to stir shit up making it worse. What you are saying is basically equivalent to saying all Americans believe we should attack any country that disagrees with us because the neo-cons do. But, we should be stopping that shouldn't we....

Imagine a foreigner, and there are these people, saying that the world should support anyone that resists the US because Americans support Bush and what they are doing. How would you react? Oh yeah, and everyone in America should be punished even more because of the actions of Bush.

Ok, I will reword that. I have seen very little change in America except for a few examples where Americans have changed something that they have not been forced to do. But once again, when Americans can stop electing liars into office and stop over consuming resources, it will be much easier to criticize.
