Poor Palestinians. I really would rather no one get hurt, but I can't help wishing the demise of Israel. How could any United Statesian consider Israel an ally after the U.S.S. Liberty attack?

I know I am late to the game, but WTF are you talking about open air prison nonsense. West-Bank is bordered by Jordan, Gaza is bordered by Egypt. Jordan and Egypt are sovereign nations which refuse to allow the so called Palestinians into their country. I say so called because there is virtually no difference between what one calls a Palestinian vs. a Jordanian. They are the same people, middle-eastern arabs. This whole Israel-Palestinian conflict is a farce invented by islamofascists and good ol' fashion regular fascists. Arafat coined the term "Palestinian" to refer to a nomadic group of ethnic arabs.
Additionally, the so called source material is a "Palestinian" propaganda website... not exactly a reputable source of information.
There is no genocide, there is no apartheid, there is just anti-Jew propaganda and hatred. The problem is that to perpetuate the problem, the Arabs in power intentionally starve and mistreat their own people and point to the Jewish boogyman.
Maybe you could help me to understand why the Arabs won't allow the Jews to pray at the Temple Mount?
In an attempt to keep the status quo, the Israeli government enforces a controversial ban on prayer by non-Muslim visitors.
An Islamic Waqf has managed the Temple Mount continuously since the Muslim reconquest of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1187. On June 7, 1967, soon after Israel had taken control of the area during the Six-Day War, Prime Minister Levi Eshkol assured that "no harm whatsoever shall come to the places sacred to all religions". Together with the extension of Israeli jurisdiction and administration over east Jerusalem, the Knesset passed the Preservation of the Holy Places Law, ensuring protection of the Holy Places against desecration, as well as freedom of access thereto. Israel agreed to leave administration of the site in the hands of the Waqf.
Although freedom of access was enshrined in the law, as a security measure, the Israeli government currently enforces a ban on non-Muslim prayer on the site. Non-Muslims who are observed praying on the site are subject to expulsion by the police. At various times, when there is fear of Arab rioting upon the mount resulting in throwing stones from above towards the Western Wall Plaza, Israel has prevented Muslim men under 45 from praying in the compound, citing these concerns. Sometimes such restrictions have coincided with Friday prayers during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

I agree, especially on the boycott part.
Boycott Alert
U.S. companies continue to report receiving requests to engage in activities that further or support the boycott of Israel.
Who Is Covered by the Laws?
The antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) apply to the activities of U.S. persons in the interstate or foreign commerce of the United States. The term "U.S. person" includes all individuals, corporations and unincorporated associations resident in the United States, including the permanent domestic affiliates of foreign concerns.
What do the Laws Prohibit?
Conduct that may be penalized under the TRA and/or prohibited under the EAR includes:
Agreements to refuse or actual refusal to do business with or in Israel or with blacklisted companies.
Leviticus 19:33-34
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your G_d.

Talk about your anti-semitic rants!
Are you guys saying that the rules don't need to be followed?
Show me any western country where you can build without a permit.
Some of you sound like experts in the field of Judaism.
Maybe you could help me to understand why the Arabs won't allow the Jews to pray at the Temple Mount?
Hmmm....

"Israeli occupied Jerusalem", you mean the city first built by Jews over three thousand years ago, that was stolen from them multiple times, most recently by the Palestinians. I would also like to add at this point that there is really no such thing as a Palestinian. They are the descendents of Arab conquerers from Saudi Arabia that stole Isreal from its natives, and then said that it was their land. Palestine comes from the anglicized form of the word Filistine or Philistine, an ethnic group that was defeated in war by the Jews three thousand years ago, and who were then over the next several centuries absorbed into the Jewish culture through intermarriage. Palestinians then took the name Filistine because of a tenous connection at best between the Arabs and the original Filistines so that they could then provide a justification for stealing Isreal from the jews. Althougth the Israeli government should treat the Palistinians better, and let them keep the West bank and Gaza strip (because to be fair, the Palestinians need somewhere to live), the Palestinians have to stop acting like they were in Israel first, as if all jews are from eastern europe or somewhere. They also need to stop acting like there were no Jews in Israel for the thousand years it was ruled by Arabs. They were, just out in the rural areas, as opposed to the cities.

Good Luck with that P, Israel will only win, and RIGHTFULLY take more land.
I guess you don't know that it's illegal to annex land by force? Every bit of land taken by Israel since 72 is stolen land.

I'm so pissed off right now, not only do they bulldoze their homes, but they also bulldoze their shelters. This is absolutely disgusting.
Maybe if they were building where they were allowed they wouldn't get bulldozed.
