Good deflection. The palesinians elected hamas. Hamas leadership took all the aid and put it in their pockets and are now living in other Arab states. Hamas dug up pipes to create rockets that were launched against Israel. The palestinians cheer everytime a suicide murderer detonates a bomb in Israel killing Israelis. The family gets ~$25,000 for his murdering act. You do not mention the UN which constantly condemns Israel and is silent about hamas or palestinian acts.
"Since the UNHRC's creation in 2006, it has resolved almost as many resolutions condemning Israel alone than on issues for the rest of the world combined. The 45 resolutions comprised almost half (45.9%) of all country-specific resolutions passed by the UNHRC, not counting those under Agenda Item 10 (countries requiring technical assistance).[1] From 1967 to 1989, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted 131 Security Council resolutions directly addressing the Arab–Israeli conflict. In early UNSC practice, resolutions did not directly invoke Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. They made an explicit determination of a threat, breach of the peace, or act of aggression, and ordered an action in accordance with Article 39 or 40. UNSC Resolution 54 determined that a threat to peace existed within the meaning of Article 39 of the Charter, reiterated the need for a truce, and ordered a ceasefire pursuant to Article 40 of the Charter. Although the phrase "Acting under Chapter VII" was never mentioned as the basis for the action taken, the chapter's authority was being used.
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has adopted a number of resolutions stating that Israel's strategic relationship with the United States, a superpower and permanent member of the Security Council with veto power, encourages the former to pursue aggressive and expansionist policies and practices in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The 9th Emergency Session of the UNGA was convened at the request of the UNSC when the United States blocked all efforts to adopt sanctions against Israel. The United States responded to the frequent criticism from United Nations organs by adopting the Negroponte doctrine of opposing any UNSC resolutions criticizing Israel that did not also denounce Palestinian militant activity"

At least you didn't stoop to calling me an anti-Semite this time. From my reading Netanyahu seems more popular in the us than in Israel. You totally dodged all the Israeli Jews who are against what Israel is doing in Gaza. Israel may be winning the battle but they are losing the war. Are you more interested in punishing Palestine, or in Israel surviving as a place worth living in. I believe this is a very real and important question. When Hamas attacked Israel, Israel had tons of good will from all over the world. They have since thrown vast amounts of that away. Common wisdom says Netanyahu will remain in power till this war is over and not much beyond that, giving Netanyahu absolutely no incentive to want this war to end. As far as my feelings about Jews, I see them as people. I don't like them less because they are Jews, and I don't like them more because they are jews. I feel the same about other ethnicities.
