82. My analogy does hold

Mon Dec 3, 2012, 08:14 AM

Dec 2012

because as I said, the Palestinians are practically imprisoned and starving. Their homes are regularly bulldozed and innocents are killed. That is not unlike the Jewish holocaust and the Native American holocaust. After all, the land seized and occupied to create Israel was Palestine before 1948. And if you cannot see the similarity, then you are willfully blind.

"The choice is up to the Palestinians." Sheesh, as if they wield all the power and US endowed money and weapons.

Spare me this garbage. Israel with US aid has become a bully nation.
