but the blame would be to my parents, correct?...
When did Israel come into existance?
I find it ironic that Israelis used to be considered people from Palestine in the Bible. What's up with that stuff?
Aren't true Israelis, not the imported ones from Europe, also Palestinains?
May 14, 1948. With Jerusalem designated an International City, belonging to neither the Israelis or the Palestinians, controlled by the UN.

Your still only attributing this whole conflict to one side...and I don't buy for a second the Israel should be held to a higher standard argument...thats bias! and completely gives the PA a pass on their actions...their both at fault!
I wish my parents had subscribed to your line of thinking, my older brother used to kick my ass when we were boys, with your line of reasoning I wouldn't have gotten my ass beat along with him when we fought... he's older and was stronger and meaner at the time, therfore he should have been punished not me!...
That lawn dart I threw at him one time was just me trying to make him treat me with some respect...right??

And the reason they don't kill everyone, is because the world would see their evil horns in public, not just in private anymore.

Well, Israel is a unified state, and the Palestinians are basically ruled by a bunch of warring militias, with Israeli tanks always sitting on the horizon.
Since they are utterly different entities, it doesn't make sense to hold them to a the same standards.
The Israeli government chooses what kind of tactics to use.
On the other hand, a Fatah bureaucrat in the West Bank has absolutely no power over a Hamas militant firing of a rocket in Gaza. There's a fair chance the Hamas leadership doesn't have control over it's every faction either...
So it makes no sense whatsoever in this case to "hold them to the same standard," in fact it's pretty much impossible.
