Perhaps if the Moslem states over there granted their Palestinian brothers citizenship over there a la 'Law of Return' there'd be a greater chance of peace, and they'd be able to leave the 'Israeli' prison of Gaza (apparently with Egyptian jailers).

Maybe Israel wouldn't be their jailer if it wasn't attacked in 67. But they 'invaded' Gaza.

I don't think Israel is perfect, oh no no. But they were sure dealt a poor hand and they're playing with cheats and cutthroats.

Prejudice against Jews (risking the Godwin's Law meme here), appears to be persistent throughout the history of left-leaning political web forums as well. And they're all pretty much the same. Twelve page circle-jerks...it's them, no it's them, no it's both...etc., etc., for another half-dozen pages until everybody tires of it and goes on to the next twelve pages of benghazi or the IRS.

Of course Israel is a little different...it's the existence of an historically and currently oppressed people and not who's favorite vote whore is good or bad.

So as far as Israel is concerned, I make my statement...and get the fuck out of it.
Oh the far right hates the Jews too, I doubt I've seen such vileness on any other topic.
