The prospering of Israel has NOTHING to do with the USA. They have done everything on their own and the US actually gets some military technology from Israel. The US doesnt give a blind backing to Israel, they put themselves in Israel's shoes and are doing the same thing they would do. What would happen if you sent your kid to school on a schoolbus filled with other children? An hour later you turn on the news to see a burning schoolbus filled with dead children because there was an extremist terrorist who decided to blow them up? You cannot equate israel with the palestinians because they are a different breed of people. From an early age all they are taught is hate and terrorist. Did you know that when Yasser Arafat was alive he offered $20,000 dollars to any family that volunteered someone of their family to be a suicide bomber? Does it sound right for a leader of a people to do something like that? Now ask why houses were destroyed and Israel occupied gaza! How can you expect a country to sit around while being terrorized in all sorts of ways and not do anything about it? If this kind of terror took place in America I cant even imagine what the US would do to the country responsible for the attack... You are VERY wrong. Palestinians dont want economic stablility, they dont want peace, they want one thing. "their land" back. I dont understand why it is still an issue... The US never gave its land back to the Indians or the British, yet every time lebanon invades israel (ex 6 day war) and israel defends itself, fights back and takes land, they always give it back. I want someone to explain to me why Palestinians think they have the right to Israel? Palestine became israel a long, long, long, long, long, long time ago and the only real proof of that is the bible. The argument is stupid and it has nothing to do with the fact that "Palestinians have nothing to live for." It has to do with the fact that these people are uneducated and brainwashed from a young age so that they think the only way to get their point across is by doing something extreme and violent. STOLEN? Are you clinically retarded?
