Pro Isreal people: Please make the distinction between Hamas supporters and Palestinians. They are not the same.

I have personally visited palestinian terratories in israel - jericho and bethlahem.

Israel care enough about the palestinian race to put up enormous walls around their city, have three entrances into the ENTIRE town, force them into a nearly 60% unemployment rate, etc. etc. etc.

I have pics to prove all of this. it's not hard to see people, open ur damn eyes here.

Deny ignorance. There is so much of it on this board it's pathetic.

If someone put a giant wall up around your city and didn't let anyone come or go...how long would it take all of you to go bat # insane and start fighting back? A few years til the food runs out? How are you going to grow crops with no land to grow on? How are you going to make an income when there are no supplies to make or sell anything? How will you get medical goods and supplies when you cannot leave your city to go get them?

Bethlahem is basically a suburb of jerusalem. Putting the wall around it caused business owners in jerusalem to fire all the palestinians - because security checks were too long and they had to apply for work visas (most of which were not granted) so there was no way these people could even make it to jobs in the first place. Most people in bethlahem, before the walls, commuted to jerusalem to work. not anymore. THEY CANT.

Really? Israel has done nothing wrong? REALLY? Are you people serious?

No. Israel is not the bad country people make it out to be. Yes - they do deserve every single bomb that gets shot at them until they revoke this whole "city state" bull# theory and practice.

City state? yeah. not working. RESEARCH IT.

Stop talking out of your asses people. YOU ARE NOT HELPING THE SITUATION BY STAYING BLIND.

I ask all the parents on this board - if your children are facing a life of certain poverty and nothingness - would you not fight with every ounce of strength to get them something better?

These palestinians have feelings and emotions as well. they are poor, starving, and have absolutely no other way to get their point across. when things are in cease fires does israel take down the walls and let them get jobs and give them land for crops? nope. Do they give them financial aid? Nope. Do they let them control their own electrical and power supplies? nope.

So then...how are they supposed to make a happy, prosperous, goal oriented society when they are LAND LOCKED with no options for improvement?

...and look at how much greener the grass is on the other side in their point of view. they can't even grow grass in these city states!

Until any of you pro israelis have jumped on a plain and gone to some of the city states to get the point of view of the palestinians - STOP POSTING. seriously. just stop.

And yes - I was 100% pro israeli before I went to the city states. Those people are jailed except they have buildings instead of cells. THEY STRUGGLE like third world african nations struggle (and I would now, because I have spent extensive time doing humanitarian work in Uganda and Rwanda as well).

Wake up. We all have the power to make a change with this issue. The implications are massive if we do not.

Want a holy war to start? I don't. Israel does.

You think the other muslim nations don't know exactly what is happening in the city states? You are crazy then. And you think they are going to sit back and let it keep happening? Not a snowballs chance in hell. They will act. They will stand up. And while israel gets all the aid from the countries that can actually spare some help...the muslim countries get a bad rep and still struggle BAD.

Israel brilliantly pulled many strings. 9/11 made people hate muslims all around the world. You can't control any of that. But you can control opening your eyes to FACTS.

Israel is KILLING OFF palestinians and making it so they CANNOT access israel. Now just ask yourself why they would do that? Because it's all about the religious right to own old city jerusalem...? think about it.

Is is true that Hamas in Gaza isn't playing by the rules. When Israel is trying to defend itself, most of the world complains about Israel. There are reports of Israel doing it's best of destorying the rocket attacks from Gaza.

Meh... if Israel is going to continue on with all these bombings and Americans are going to keep supporting Israel. We might as well just like Israel nuke Palestine and I bet you that people will become happier very fast after the war with media propaganda.

Am I the only one who thought you were being sarcastic by posting this non story.?
