Well, so is killing one another. Things like this are bound to happen. Obviously certain facets of the Palestinian people feel they are being treated like animals. Bulldozing homes and running them from their land into refugee camps isn't exactly going to leave them with a good impression. Remember, alot of these people lack the basic education that you and I have in order to make this type of judgement.
Stupid or whatever, it's ironic that the victimised are now being portrayed as the aggressors.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Treated like animals or not (I think they are treated badly, but animals is an exaggeration), Israel does what it has to do in order to protect its citizens, the way every other sovereign country would do. Secondly, the Palestinians have brought everything on themselves and have no one else to blame for their poor condition (apart from their leadership). Also, any comparisons with the Nazis or Hitler or whatever is just ludicrous as the Jews in Europe never attacked other civilians, nor have they exploded buses, cafes and restaurants.
I don't find the fact that we're currently fighting someone to be quite so ironic. I think we are fighting for what "we" have always fought for, i.e to live in peace in a country of our own.
