    If you read Joshua and Judges, ? told the Jews how to deal with enemies. They should follow the lead of their anicent ancestors.

    It's well known that the Palestinians have no interest in peace only the destruction of the Jews. With the increasing support from Iran it only a matter of time before those "symbolic" homemade rockets are replaced by the real deal.

    Odd I've been reading about this for like a week in the New York Times, they must not have gotten the memo that this is secret.

    Too bad the Israelites failed to obey the command of ? and ? all the inhabitants of Canaan. If they would have OBEYED they wouldn't be struggling with this problem right now. But hey hindsight is always 20/20. Sin is just working itself out.

    Never happened. They are not Israelites. They are European Converts.

    I'm gonna use the "white ? dude", analogy. Why would a group of people convert to a religion, only to be persecuted and occassionaly killed? I love how ? say a group of people aren't a particular religion simply off of the strength of their distain for "x", group of people. Even though said religion has been in these people's history for generations. So are Semetic cats " "Semetic converts"? How about "Ethopians", are they African converts to judaism? Or does this converison thing only apply to Ashenazis

    He didn't say they weren't Jewish. He's just saying they aren't descendants of the ancient Israelites.

    Israel runs the Middle East. America will protect it as long as it has the resources. I sympathize with the Palestinians, it is their land that's been stolen from them, and continues to be stolen by the Israelis.

    Sadly though, there is nothing anyone can do about it. America is in decline, but it is still head and shoulder above the world in military might. The Palestinians are ? . Good luck to them though, hope they build some more hospitals to take care of their injured and dying.

    Oh yeah I forgot, Israel's blockade prevents most building and medical materials from reaching Palestinians. The people of Palestine are on their own.

    i agree with this post. Israel is not only blocking aid to the Palestinians, they also fired on flotillas with innocent civilians onboard trying to assist. This has carried on for so long, it seems hopeless at this point. It seems rest will come when the last Palestinian in Gaza is no more.

    Yeah it's very sad. American politicians will give cover to any and everything Israelis do to Palestinians. Nevermind the fact that Israelis kicked out close to a million native Palestinians from their homes and businesses in 1947 and 1948. Nevermind the fact that the United Nations has condemned Israel's destroying of homes and apartments of thousands upon thousands of Palestinians.

    Palestinians have no hope. Their gonna be around, but they will always be second class citizens in their own land. ALWAYS. And there is nothing anyone can do about it. Toughen up Palestinians. You have more land to give up to Israel.
