A senior level IDF source has reported: “We have seen a 50% upsurge in rock throwing attacks since the announcement of U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit to the country.” One Judea and Samaria resident has similarly asserted that “rock throwing is a daily occurrence here,” while Yesha Council Chairman Avi Roeh declared, “A rock can kill and that is how security forces should address the situation. These tragic attacks are becoming increasingly more commonplace everyday in the Judea and Samaria region.”
According to eye witnesses, over the weekend Palestinians throwing rocks hit a bus causing it to go off the road, as well as a truck, lightly injuring both drivers, while a car that followed crashed into the truck, resulting in the car’s four passengers being hurt. The mother, Adva Bilton, was seriously injured. Two of her children were in moderate condition, while her two-year-old daughter, Adele, was in critical condition.

The Palestinians want their own country. There's just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians. It's a made up word. Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years. Like "Wiccan," "Palestinian" sounds ancient but is really a modern invention.

As soon as the Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what do you know, say hello to the "Palestinians," weeping for their deep bond with their lost "land" and "nation." So for the sake of honesty, let's not use the word "Palestinian" any more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at our deaths until someone points out they're being taped

Five hundred million Arabs; five million Jews. Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a pack of matches sitting in the middle of it.

Hey, but what about the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the constant din of rabid blood oaths to drive every Jew into the sea? Oh, that? We were just kidding.

Any reason you forgot to mention this took place last March ?

It doesn't happen very often, but occasionally there are news reports of the Palestinians using children as suicide bombers. The Childrens Rights Institute has been documenting this for years. In 2008 there was a documentary called "The Making of a Martyr" about how extreme Islamists use children as suicide bombers.

Since Palestinians are apparently kind of fine with blowing their children up for any reason, I think that negates their right to bitch about anything someone else does to their kids.

You are assuming that each of these children would voluntarily have chosen this for themselves?

When the question comes down to the peace treaty there are people that say that both the palestinians and the israeli's agreed on numbers.

So Polite - it seems that even the head of the Palestinians administration disagrees with you, and in fact echos the position I said. Namely:


Abbas, himself a 1948 refugee, privately argued against the large-scale return of refugees in a meeting in March 2009: "On numbers of refugees, it is illogical to ask Israel to take 5 million, or indeed 1 million," he told officials. "That would mean the end of Israel."

I wonder how many Americans share your view? I doubt that many Americans would support any of the heinous Israeli policies listed above. But it is a sad fact that these policies are financed in part by the US taxpayer, and the US provides diplomatic cover to Israel, enabling the policy makers and perpetrators to escape justice and continue committing their crimes despite the almost universal odium such behaviour attracts and deserves .

According to this perspective, the Palestinians are denied even a right to exist. One wonders why Israel chooses to negotiate with a grouping that, according to this perspective, doesn't exist. This claim is only one of many blatant falsehoods continually advanced by apologists for Zionism and Zionists.

One might also wonder why Israel , which so loudly insists that the world recognises its own right to exist, denies the same right to other Stateless peoples. Palestinian claims to Statehood, based on the 1967 borders are recognised by over 120 countries or more than 2/3 of the world.

Thank you for letting us know where you stand on the OP, which detailed the torture of children. It seems that not only do you support the torture of children but are also supportive of Israeli ethnic cleansing, war crimes and apartheid.

I wonder how many Americans share your view? I doubt that many Americans would support any of the heinous Israeli policies listed above.
