I'll read it, but I have to guess that after thouands of years of Israelis and Palestinians hating each other and trying to kill each other, both sides have equal blame. The only difference as far as I see it is that the Israelis don't hate the US as much as the Palestinians do.

US bombs aren't falling on Israel. US bombs are falling on the Palestinians.

And that pretty much explains the difference in opinion between the Israelis and Palestinians when it comes to America.

This isn't the fault of the US. The two sides hated each other long before the western world ever existed.

My dad's wise observation that it takes two to fight is spot on in this case.

If I drove you from your home at gunpoint, and placed you and your family in prison, then I killed a couple of your children in prison, moreover demanded that you not receive any food, water, or medical supplies...

would you characterize your attempt to hit back at me as..."it takes two to fight"?

I'm not sure what the Israelis want? Break the will of a defeated people?

Oh, and btw, in this scenario you are the terrorist and I am the good guy whom God supports. Merely because I say so, and I have a huge powerful lobby who makes it so.

Peace is not possible, says this Jewish man.
