it seems your inability to comprehend anything useful is the only bit intellectual sewage present on this thread.

I believe the Palestianians are hardly fighting on their own...and are getting help from their "muslim brothers" throughout the world, and the Palestianians did originally steal that land from the Jews, which is why the Jews are currently scattered, so Jews have returned the favor...I guess Israelis are still too smart for them?

Who in heaven told Palestianians that the Jews won't one day strike back or Can't strike back since this is ancient history and take back the land they fought for and in fact, Jews gave you your religion too didn't they? Even the Koran says they are the chosen ones of God, so aren't they defiling the "chosen ones".. How about Palestianians doing them a favor and give them their peice of land, before Allah strikes them down...?

By these sort of standards, I suppose this guy:

He's not fighting, he's protesting. He and his supporters poses no threat whatsoever to the guys in the tank.

I don't know about that...looks like a bag in his hand...could be a bomb...maybe he has some grenades strapped to his body.

I see. Tanks from Syria? Attack helicopters from Saudi Arabia? Satellite recon from Yemen? Field artillery from Iran?

This is one of those absurdities that is so out of touch with reality that it is difficult to muster a response at a level comprehensible to the proponent.

Duh - some amount of money, moral support, and such comes from elsewhere. But it is so piddling in comparison to what israel is getting from the U.S. (multiple billions per year), Germany, and etc. An embargo is enforced on the palestinians.

good Lord.


Since this is your central premise, perhaps you would care to explain to us exactly how and when the Palestinians did this?

The Palestinians have a record of ambush attacks. There were no attacks by the protestors in Tianamen Square. *BIG* difference.

Remember that shipful of weapons that Israel intercepted a while back?

The Palestinians don't *NEED* the big weapons. Those are for conventional armies. They want things like explosives and guns and they are supplied with plenty of those.
