What Palestinian land are they occupying?
There has never been a Palestine, nor any sort of Palestinian homeland, so what exactly is illegal about Israel, and how is the situation different from the US being attacked? The area that is now Israel, was never even a predominantly Arab region, but the Jews have been there for thousands of years.
As for you omooex, if hurling insults is the best you can do, then take your ignorant, stupidity elsewhere.

In your hypothetical, have we been occupying Canada and Mexico for the last 40 years, imposing blockades on them which prevent them from getting nutrition and medicine for their children, building walls around them to prevent them from leaving or moving around and the like?
Not to mention displacing the Canadian and Mexicans who were originally living here. Oh, wait.... But then again, it evened out when we got the Arcadians (Cajuns) down in N'owleans. Zydeco, laissez bot temps rouler....
Cheers,
Ooops.
On behalf of others here, I ask you to stop your anti-semitic remarks. Everyone here is quite tolerant of ideas, but ethnic based hatred is not appreciated here.
My ignorance certainly can't compete with yours, you're correct. But there's room for all the ignorant here. Apparently.
What is amazing is that you are telling me I don't exist. And accusing me of hurling insults. Simply amazing.
Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the end of the Khmer Rouge
Which Chomsky openly and repeated praised and supported, even years after. A true liberal hero. Only 30% of the country was exterminated. Pol Pot didn't go far enough.
You misspelled "Nixon". For some reason he had a bug up his butt about Vietnam and wanted to stick it to them, so he supported the KR against the Vietnamese.
Cheers,
...is why so many defenders of the Israeli action have to resport to argument by analogy: How would you feel if the Israeli situation was this completely different situation, huh? Huh? Why cn;t you answer a simple question
It's almost like, I don't know, like they can't defend the actual situation.
Noting that Israel was bent on halting Hamas rocket fire into its southern towns, Reid said: "I ask any of my colleagues to imagine that happening here in the United States. Rockets and mortars coming from Toronto in Canada, into Buffalo New York. How would we as a country react?"Co-sponsor and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican said before the vote: "The Israelis ... are responding exactly the same way we would."
They are, and damn, ain't that scary. At least the Israelis are invading the country that attacked them...
Don't miss the video!

BTW don't worry about Canada, we don't have any missiles, we rely on sarcasm and an ill deserved (lately) indomitable sense of smug superiority.
That's it. On the money! What if the it was the Deathstar attacking the Wookies!
We'll miss you when you're gone.

That's rich for, what, your fifth comment post on the site?
Oh, and here is another one that will surely endear you to the UT commentarriot:

The treatment of the Palestinians and the attitudes exhibited towards them are eerily reminiscent of u. s. treatment of Native Americans, particularly in the treatment of the native California tribes in the late 1800’s and early 20th century. Consider this passage from the account at http://www.cabrillo.edu/~crsmith/anth6_americanperiod.html
There were a few people who spoke out, who reacted against the savagery of the anglo-Americans in California. Unfortunately, such voices were"crying in the wilderness." They were pushed aside, their humanity negated by a system that promulgated the shibboleths of inevitable conflict, the greatest good for the greatest number, and the most important one, the destiny of the white man.
As I note below, the anglo-Americans believed they were the chosen civilizers of the earth. And contrary to popular myth, the men who ruthlessly destroyed the Native Californians were not the outcasts of society, the footloose riffraff of the United States. In fact, many of the whites often became California's leading citizens. For example, in northwestern California William Carson has been credited with creating hundreds of jobs on the Pacific Coast. Yet, this man participated in the Hayfork Massacre of 1852 where 152 Native Californians were slaughtered. John Carr, in his book Pioneer Days, describes the Massacre and states in the introduction: " It may help ... to rescue and preserve some of the doings of the common people that founded and built up this great State of California" [emphasis added]. With the exception of Isaac Cox, author of the Annals of Trinity County, most white historians who discuss the Hayfork Massacre and the events leading up to it [the killing of the white John Anderson and the stealing of his cattle by the Indians], place the BLAME for the Massacre on the Indians, not on the whites. Even Cox, who states the Indians were justified in having a grudge against Anderson, justifies the massacre: "Be this true or not, the rascals had committed a glaring infraction into the peace and security of the county and to chastise them was proper and laudable."
The same sad damn story, with the same kind of sad damn justifications and blindness.
not so fast there, gordy macdonald or whatever your name really is. americans haven't forgotten that the canadians burned the white house during the war of 1812. the price of liberty is eternal vengeance. americans are ready for your next attempt to take away our guns and force us to have healthcare. just as we invaded iraq to derail any attack by al qaeda, we invaded grenada to abort the next attack by canada. and notice how well it has worked.
