Earth you should take off your blinders "Cold Blooded Murder" is happening on both sides. Palestinians can't fire rockets into Israel and harm her people ( article the top of the page) and expect no payback. For you to lament the suffering of the Palestinian people while emiting no concern, care or warmth towards Isreal you are supporting the cold blooded murder of the innocent Isrealies. Frankly I'm sick of the Palestinians reliving history and rewriting it, it they "Truely" want peace lay down there rockets, there guns, there weapons and let the UN oversee a peace treaty. Since the dawn of time man has waged war citing a god like being as the reason, man has pillaged, slaughtered, raped and stolen the lands of those who lost those battles. Isreal isn't any different, the ME and Palestine need to get their heads out of the sand and come into the 21st century. I'm tired of there incessant wailing in the media, **** happens move on and try and build a future by accepting Isreals right to exist. It's just dirt, and it isn't worth killing or dying for.
Where have I ever stated I support violent acts by either side? I support freedom and justice. I am against violence by either side. Do you support Israel's violence against Palestinians?
What Palestinians want is freedom and justice. If Palestinians lay down their arms, will they have a just peace? Will Israel give back everything they have taken from these people over the years? I don't think so. So what you expect is that Palestinians accept living in refugee camps, without hope for a better future, freedom or justice. That's not going to happen.
If Israel's leaders want peace, then why do they assassinate Palestinian leaders who negotiate ceasefires?
Killing of Hamas leader ends truce

Ismail Abu Shanab was a moderate by Hamas leadership standards. A ceasefire negotiator, he was prepared to consider the two-state solution. openDemocracy’s Paul Hilder interviewed him at his home in Gaza in July 2002, days after the assassination of Salah Shehadeh, leader of Hamas’s military wing. In this disturbing conversation, they talk about peace, violence, democracy, the US, bin Laden, and colonialism...

I'm not calling for an end to Israel, but an end to Zionism. Zionism isn't that different from Apartheid. Just replace Jews with whites and Palestinians with blacks and you have Zionism. I was against Apartheid and for the same reasons I am against Zionism. By the way, non-violent methods ended Apartheid.
