and it is not holy.
I have seen how the Palestinians are treated. Corraled, like animals, forced to live in shtetles with little food, medicine or water. They can barely see the sun shine over that wall you've built around her. Women in labor die regularly at the Israeli checkpoints that dot Palestinian territory. They are not entitled to the most basic level of human dignity.
So it is amazing to me that Israel and its supporters TO THIS DAY refuse to acknowledge that the rage Arabs feel toward it is the direct result of Israel's sickening BEHAVIOR. She acts like a spoiled, overgrown bully and then expects those that she persecutes to thank her for it as they cower.
If you had to live everyday of your life as a Palestinian, wouldn't you feel like grabbing hold of a rock or lobbing a rocket? Or would you thank your persecutor?
