I encourage all of you to do your research on this. Rent the Frontline documentary "Journey to Occupied Lands" for starters. Then rent the documentary "Death in Gaza" to see how the IDF treats Palestinians in border territories whether they have provoked/perpetuated contact or peacefully protested.
I encourage everybody who supports Israeli policy to explain to me what the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is. Then I ask you to take the definition and explain to me how it does or does not apply to the insurgent Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. Be sure then to explain to me why I am an anti-Semite for pointing out the obvious, and further explain to me how Israeli should automatically be absolved of all responsibility for anything and everything it does because some Arabs have a negative opinion of Israel. Be sure to carefully explain to me why Arabs should not have a negative opinion of Israel after the way it has abused the Palestinians and stolen their land over decades in violation of all international agreements. While you're at it, please explain to me how the treatment of prisoners in Israel's prisons is not torture and is in no way comparable to the torture methods used in Arab countries like Egypt. And then, when you have done all of that, please explain to me why Israel has a standing agreement never to discuss the fact that they now possess over 300 nuclear warheads.
After that, maybe we can start to have a conversation.
Uhhhh......riiiiiiiiiiight.
