Palestinians, they were invaded by the Israelis and murdered. What did the Palestinians ever do to them?\nAmerica has more land than Palestine, why dont they let the Israelis live in America?

Too bad Palestinians and Iranians didn't vote for US/UK backed candidates. Aaahhhh what's coming to this world? Why does everybody hate the Pharaohs? Good old days of imperialism dying?\n\nLook, Tony Blair is rubbing his nose on Laura Bush's asz crack and crying. Oops, should I have spelled it "arsze"?\n\nAmericans have "privates"… what do they call you in your army? However, all your privates together won't equal my "private".\n\nNo, I am not form Palestine or Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan. I am from Bangladesh. We hate you too, just like the majority of world's population.\n\nLeave cricket... start playing baseball .. you American slaves.

Id say people in the Middle East have an extremely biased view (if any) on the Holocaust. Im Lebanese, living in Lebanon, and i can say that the Holocaust is praised (unfortunately) in most Arab countries since Israel is viewed as the main enemy (along with the US). It's sad to see educated people praising Hitler and the horrible genocide he commited against Jews. Being an Arab Christian, my backgroud education gave me the right idea about the genocide. However, most Muslims have this haine for Jews (mostly because the Sheikhs and Arab leaders examplify Israelis and Jews as the force of evil and war in the world). I dont want to sound too pessimistic but a better education will not be the solution because Imams (or Sheikhs, as in muslim religious leaders) will still endoctrinate their followers... The only solution in my opinion is the creation of two states (Israel and Palestine) after both forces recognize one another according to international law. It's a shame extremism (whether ultra-orthodox jews or fanatic muslims) is the obstacle of bringing people together..

I do every time they blow up innocent women and children, and I ponder why won't they accept the peace offer that Israel has offered them.  I guess as Americans we should feel bad we removed their benifactor from Iraq, who was funding the suicide attacks against Israel.  BUT when you intentionallyblow up women and children, I will NEVER give my pity. (HAMAS or IRA  doens't matter to me)

The Palestinian situation is not unlike that the of Southwest of the U.S.  Both land parcels were sold (yes that means two parties negotiated on a price), to the victor.  \n\nThe Palestinians have no one to blame except their ancestors (or in some cases their relatives who may still be alive) for the State of Israel's inclusion of the West Bank. The land was bought and paid for. \n\nAs for the U.S. Southwest, of course the sale occured so long ago the Mexicans who long for Aztlan have no one to blame but their ancestors for selling the land for a price.\n\nAn analogy is: Let's say you sold someone your stereo, and took money for it.  Then decided that five years (or 60 years or 100 years+) later that you wanted it back, should you be able to demand its return?  And use the force and violence in your demands for the previously sold item?  I think not!

The Jewish people DO have a country of their own and they are not about to go away any time soon no matter how much you like or dislike them.\n\nIts sad that Palestine does not have a country of their own and have descended into violence out of frustration.  The UN declaration that gave Israel its start was also supposed to start a Palestinian state but that got obfuscated in the complex politics that ensued.

Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately some people cling to their ideas no matter how much truth is thrown at them. Do not worry, not all Americans feel that Israel is the innocent in all this. Some of us do recognize Israel as being in the wrong and the major aggressor in that region.

Sheesh......talk about a difficult question!  First of all what do you mean by Palestine?  The Palestinian homeland is Jordan.  You haver to consider what each side wants and what each side fears.  We'll start with Israel.  What Israel wants is a safe and secure Israel, with an internal Jewish majority.  They don't want to have to rely on foreign powers for security...or even aid.  The Israeli policy towards Jerusalem and the occupied territories are all under intense debate as ways to achieve this end.  The real problem that Israel faces is their internal Muslim population outnumbering its jewish population due to higher birth rates.  Their biggest fear is surrendering land for peace....the Government they made a deal with being overthrown...and having attacks launched against them through invasion routes they gave back by new fanatic governments.  You have to remember that Israel came very close to destruction on several occasions....and that the stated goal of Hamas has always been to push jews into the sea.  The Palestineans want a homeland/country.  They are laregely secular/capitalist as a group...and better educated then any other region in the muslim mid-east.  Because of this they are seen as a threat by other nations in the Arab world.  This is why so many Arab nations pay lip service to the Palestinean cause....but do little for them.  In polls most Palestineans supported the peace proccess that Arafat began and then stopped with the Initifadah.  The recent election of Hamas had less to do with Israeli policy then it did with corruption in their security apparatus.  Palestineans fear losing their claim to any part of Jerusalem...which is what they might face with current Israeli policy of a unilateral withdrawl.  The solution has to be something that gives the Palistieans a homeland....while giving Israel secure borders and national security.  I don't know what the answer is....but I kow the current system of anti-semitism that is blared in Arab media sources doesn't help matters.  I also think that if the other Arabic nations budded out (and they have their own agenda which has NOTHING to do with the well being of Palestineans) a solution could be reached.  I think a secure and stable western styled government in a Palestinean homeland would be the only outcome that all sides could be happy with.  The problem is the rest of the Arab world wouldn;t be happy with it.

Israel :D\n\nWhat about you?

ISRAEL of course!! (Never underestimate a sh it disturber) I should know as I'm one. Seriously though ...think about it...considering their location and the fact that they are the only Jewish Nation and they are surrounded by Muslim countries...wouldn't you think it would be in their best interest to promote peace and to have a peace agreement. Sometimes you have to give a little to get a little. To me not having to live in fear everyday of my life and constantly look over my shoulder and wonder if that day will be my last or if my kids school will be bombed that day etc is a huge deal. I would be willing to cut off my right arm (literally) for such a compromise. Israel however has the great USA backing them so they can afford to stir the pot, piss in the faces of their neighbours and stomp on their faces, kill their women and children etc cause they have a trump card which is don't mess with me or I'll set my big brother on you! This is the reason for all the terrorists acting like maniacs...they are mad at the USA for helping Israel kill their people by providing them with money and weapons. If the US hadn't been doing this all these years Israel would have been more compromising long ago and the world would be a better place. I think the USA is a great country but they would be better off giving their vets and poor people the money or better health care, housing and education instead of throwing the money at Israel every year. Even the Bible tells you to look after your own first. (Charity begins at home) so they should look after their own peoples needs first then help others after (if they really need help) Just my opinion!

One must really lack basic compassion to call children, women and civilians, who have been under brutal occupation for 40 years thugs..\n\n..in regards to the question, it's not that they don't Want peace, they don't want FAIR peace. the roadmap was a way of achieving peace, as was Camp David as were Oslo talks.. however, what they entailed for ISrael, is total economic, military , socal Domination. For Palestinians, not a state, rather series of buntustan-like regions where they are allowed to exist. \n\nwhat is fair peace, well for starters, listen to international community. Many resolutions for fair peace has been proposed by the UN, 242 for example, which always receives the same vote: all the world for it- US and Israel against.\n\n*EDIT*\n\neven if you go with what the person above said, which for the most part, isn't really relevant, but lets go with it. and accept his argument..that Israel is righ towner of 'the promised land' as God said so..therefore his conclusion is, we can treat Palestinians as inhumenly as we like, kick them out of their homes and keep them in camps surrounded by a wall (sounds like ghettos to anyone?) just because they don't belong on this Holy land of ours. \n\nwell is this not the reason why Jews were persecuited and murdered all over Europe and in Holocaust in Germany..all because they did not belong there..\n\ntoday we Rightly condemn what has been done to Jews, how can we then not condemn when they are doing exctly the same things to Palestine today ..under the pretext of 'defense' or more recently ' War on Terror'.
