It's a real shame that I had to leave to Jerusalem for a week right when this discussion started, but I will be able to pop in occasionaly to give my two (or perhaps more) cents.

From where I'm sitting (Jerusalem now, Israel in general) I applauded the fact that they shoved three missiles up his ass. My friends and I all rejoiced and sang in the middle of class. You may call us barbarians, pigs, teenagers with absolutely no respect, or whatever you want but it's our opinion and in the country that I live in, you're allowed to have one. Palestinians don't have that right.

If you had to ask me for the one difference between Israel and Palestine, aside from the obvious terror-non terror, democracy-dictatorship difference, I would have to say it's that Israel gives a damn. I could give you the examples of the 10 year old unknowingly carrying a bomb in his bag, or the 15 year old who wanted to kill himself because he had no friends. Or I could give you the example of the unending terror or the so called "Hudna" that we had last year. That lasted about two weeks.

The example I'd like to give you, however, is the IDF. First of all, the not-succesful attack they had on Yassin last year. The main reason it wasn't succcesful was because the IAF used a 250kg bomb instead of a 500kg bomb to minimize collateral damage. I don't recall the Palestinians doing that anywhere. Than the succesful attack. The fact that they could mount a succesful operation on the short notice they had, and then keep everyone safe after every terror orginization worth its salt promised to rain death and destruction down on Israel shows that Israel cares. It cares for it's civilians, it's soldiers, and for humans in general.

Jews who commit a crime or who turn traitor and betray the government will still get a fair trial. If you think Palestinians also do, I beg you to look towards the beginning of the Intifada, when those two Arab, not Muslim, Arab reserve soldiers in the IDF were lynched.

I'd like to discuss this more, but unfortunately I have to get off to work and go make mucho dinero, but I will try to pop in here occasionaly.
