what do you expect?

when the Israelis dig up palestinian graves to build shopping centeres on its all ok,
when it comes to destroying palestinian homes for tourist centeres or jewish homes, thats ok aswell.

but do that to an israeli graveyard for a hospital and its a crime
, evict israelis from occupied land and its also a crime and the pro israelis will come running.

israel deserve everything that is thrown at them

Go, Israel!! Rah, rah, sisboom bah! And I mean BAHHHHHH!!!!!
They just won't stop, eh? Gotta continue to do things which continue their "oh, poor us, we are hated and everyone wants to kill us" crap.

I have lots of Israeli friends and none of them wish this crap to continue.
