actually I believe I see very well the palestenian side, I understand their needs for their own state for their own security, to wake up and not hear the loudspeaker claiming a new curfew, seeing the israeli tank parked outside etc, and to defend themselves.


What I dont see is the palestenians ability to create a state that will live peacefully side by side with us. And once that state is created we will probably not have the realistic option of dismantelling it if it turns out to be a state that eithe directly or indirectly supports attacks against us.

You write that we do have the right to defend ourselves.....see my response at no. 31

btw, what you call bait, is actually a very real aspect of israeli culture. By discounting aspect/values that are important to me as an israel, be it through misinterperation or lack of patient does not show willingness to understand. A large part of this conflict is based on not understanding the cultures involved....its important to show patience even to those aspects you dont understand.
