I hope you realize exactly how much credibility you lose in comparing the Israeli and Palestinian situation to the Holocaust.  Israel has willingly pulled out of the Palestinian lands that they have held for years.  Israel forced its own people out of their homes to give the Palestinians back their homeland.  Whole segments of the border fence have been redesigned because of the qualm of one Palestinian farmer or another.  The Israelis have justification in their strikes.  Missiles rain down on the homes of their people and then they blow up the launch site.  The Lebanese government is full of **** when they say that they can't stop the terrorists in their own country.  It's not hard to find them when they're launching rockets out of hotel windows.


You want to know why Israel isn't part of the Iraq war?  Look at how we look after starting this war.  Britain's Prime Minister is stepping down and his nation played a minor role.  Can you imagine what would happen if Israel stepped in.  First of all their available forces would be only symbolically helpful, but the Middle East would see it as Israel trying grab up more land.  Just the same way they see us having invaded for no reason.  In Lebanon they had clear purpose as they were being fired upon daily.  I like how we are so incredulous that no one will help us with the war after alienating others and seeing how little support there was from the start.


How can you accuse Israel of being so selfish when time after time it has been provoked into wars, destroyed the opposition, and then in the end returned the land that they shed blood to secure.
