Isreal is illegally occupying land. Why don't you read the whole post before blindly responding? As long as they are controlling an entire people and treating them like animals, they will not have the moral upper hand.

The land is "illegal" in what way? they won it fair and square in the SIX DAY WAR. Remember that? that was when israel defeated 4 arab countries in 6 days, a world record. You apologists make me sick since you fail to realize the source of arab frustration: arab failure.
Blah, blah we got your "I hate Arabs" stance early on in this discussion. It is illegal as it violates multiple UN resolutions. Forget that, even if an occupying power takes land, they have the responsability, under International Law to treat the conquered people humanely, something Israel has failed to do miserably. Anyway, Israel had disregarded the UN without any regard thanks to the protection of the US. Here are some of the resolutions violated or ignored by Israel:

The occupation is illegal. Period. You don't know sh!t, but yet you love arguing as if you did. You have still not responded to some of the issues I have brought up in other posts and you never bother to cite evidence of any kind. Either bring forward some real debate or just keep it to yourself.
screw the UN. It created israel and Palestine. It stood by and did nothing while the arabs invaded israel five times to destroy her. And when the israelis win, the arabs complain to the UN, which almost always comes to their side. I have as much respect for the United Nations as I do for that 10 cent hooker in romania. Just because the UN says it's illegal doesn't mean it is. And let's not forget that this is the same UN that categorized Zionism as a racist entity for almost 25 years before it came to its senses. And this is the same UN that has to be pushed to carry out its own resolutions.
And I don't know what arguments you are talking about that I have yet to refute. The fact is the arab have failed in so many ways it's not even funny anymore. It must be a damn shame seeing Palestinian being slaughtered in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and yet all the 300 million arabs can do is curse at the tv, knwoing the impotence of their governments (who are too afraid to face israel). What a bunch of puss.
You're beyond help. You're too simple to see the broader picture and too engulfed with your arab hate to make any sense. Just don't forget, all it took was 19 arabs to bring this country to its knees not to long ago. By dismissing their problems and by blindly supporting Israel regardless of her actions, we are just fueling the fire of hate directed towards us. We might be able to take out countries, but save genocide, we will not be able to get rid of all arabs. The only way to deal with the hate directed towards us is to confront the sources of it. But you just keep waving your flag and coming up with witty insults. Ignorance must be bliss, I wish I knew.
yeah - apparently his imagination is so wild (and he's so childish) he believes i live in a cave and am posting my hatred on anandtech. What did you expect??? He's a freakin childish moron - just like the rest of his kind. Give him a break - there's nothing you can do about it. Israel will forever be good and arabs will forever be categorized as terrorists. Oh yeah, and i'm from Persia even tho Persia doesn't exist. Heh. Like i said earlier - America thrives off of your kind, Dari. The more convinced you are of your Freedom, the more we prosper. Btw, speaking of freedom and democracy, how much say did you have in going to war, or was it based on the sole decision of our "president". I think the only reason you support mr. bush is because you guys share something in common. you're both idiots, and you must have sympathy for your kind.
Proof that your typical FOX news viewer will believe EVERYTHING they read - omg i have lost all hope for you conservatives - seriously
Since when was war a sign of progression? NEVER you idiot...
They got the land they got, the occupied landmasses are called occupied by just about every country around the world...
Sure, with the US backing them with weapons, they got whatever they wanted, superior military might by proxy?
What causes just about all of the instability in the middle east? why do you think that every arab country supports Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad?
Just give the Jews florida and watch them move into settlements around your country claiming it is theirs, throwing out farmers from their houses and lands... watch them farmers while they act nice and apologetic as they are thrown out, because if they do anything, then they are terrorists and must be fought...
Stupidity only goes so far Dari, you are so filled with hate that you cannot see straight... the arabs own the land, the Israelis are taking it, the arabs are fighting them in the only way they can... the big army always call the small army terrorists because the small army uses what they got...
if we are going back a bit in history and use your logic in WWII, then the Nazi earned all the land they have conquered fair and square. And during the time before Hitler went to war against Russian and before US join the war, French, Poland, and most of European countries would be under German rules and that is alright with you, cause they (Nazi) won it fair and square in the war, and nobody has right to dispute it because it's their (Allied) failure.
And what about Israel? well there will be none, cause as the result of your logic, the final solution for the jewish people will indeed become reality
and what is more depressing is Israel seemed to forget their history and starting to act like the Nazi themselves in treating their non-jewish citizens and their weaker neighbour Palestinian (suicide bomber aside)...

i did read you post. while they do treat the non-jewish population as second class citizens they will have the upper hand as long as jewish civilians are dying. not to mention the many times israel was attacked by its neighbors.
What really amazes me is that if a suicide bomber kills women and children, he is a terrorist scumbag, but if israeli (or us) forces kill twice as many, they are just casualties of war and the one who does it is just another hero...
sick, SICK, SICK!!! it makes me sick how you view these people, they are humans, just like you and me, they are fighting in the only way they know how, for their country, yet you condemn them while praising the ones blowing up civilians while sitting safely behind armor...
I wish, just for one day, you would be in their position, no, i do not wish that you would die, just to be in their position, to feel theri despair, then you might understand...

you're forgetting it was reconquered land by the allies. we won it back and, in the case of western europe, reset it to its previous boundaries. i'd also remind you that one of the allies used the portion of land that it conquered to create a buffer zone between itself and germany, as well as keeping some of the land it took from a country it mutually invaded with germany in 1939. it then had the boundary of germany drawn 100 miles to the west of the previous boundary to make up a bit for what it took. boundaries which stand today. sometimes the world is an unfair place.
Israeli civilians are dying because their gov. is continuing an occupation. And you're wrong, Israeli Arabs are treated like second class citizens, Palestininas are treated like dogs. How does any of this give them the moral upper hand? Israel had not been attacked by its neighbors in quite some time, and they have even reconciled their differences with many ie: Egypt. Give me a real reason why you think Israel has the moral upper hand, and "its in the Bible" doesn't count.
Oh yes there is such a thing, of course, nations like Libya, Afghanistan (before the war) and the US wouldn't have that...
But the rest ofthe world abides by it just fine and forget you're even there...

when did i say that the non-jewish population wasn't treated as second class citizens? i believe i stated just that thing. you've shown a remarkable ability to misread things. nor have i ever stated anything about the bible. the palestinians do not have the moral upper hand because their fighters intentionally target civilians while the israeli fighters do not. 1 is not many. egypt has been reconciled mostly because we pay the strongman in charge there billions of dollars a year. jordan, of course, is very much a mediating influence in the area, but they can not control syria or lebanon.
They might not have the intention, but they don't think twice or ever regret doing it. You know you're going to kill a lot of civilians when you fire a rocket into a crowded group of people to take out one terrorist who may or may not be there (they have been wrong in the past). You know you're killing civilians when you indiscriminately fire on children throwing stones. Is that moral? There is a reason 2000+ Palestininans have died, and beleive me, the vast majority were not terrorists. We take steps not to target civilians, the Israelis don't care.
they however do have intention to kill people without trials and presumption of innocence, ie the raid they have on Palestinian refugees camps and subsequently "unavoidable, unintentional" civilian casualty...
and what seemed lost here and need to point out again is Israel is hijacking US middle east policy and use it to their advantage instead of our govt taking our own ME direction.

Methods of fighting do not buy people morality, the reason for said fighting does. Illegal occupation, illegal settlements, indiscriminate use of force, collective punishment. How can you defend that? How is that morally superior? I'm not arguing that terrorism is dispicable, but there would not be so many attacks if Israel withdrew from the occupied territories and halted settlement activity, the Israeli's have taken away hope from the Palestinians, and the most dangerous people are those who have nothing to loose and even less to live for.

the pretense that you see as international law is more of a cartel enforced by two mechanisms: the first is the fear of a country becoming discredited such that other countries won't deal with it and the other is the military and industrial might of a few countries.

I never said you didn't say that the non-jewish population is treated like second class citizens. I was stating that those who happen to be non-Jewish ISRAELI citizens have the good fortune of being treated like second class citizens, the Palestininas arn't treated a hundreth as well. I also never said you said anything about the Bible, I was just telling you not to cite it as justification when you gave me a reason for Israel's moral superiority. No offence, but your reading comprehension sucks.
well we have to start from some where right? Where do you think all our daily laws come from? God to us?
The only thing is we can't put country in prison, but we can isolated them or force them with sanction, but it also still need many other countries participation, just like you can;t built prison and try to fill it by yourself...

you're not arguing that terrorism is "dispicable"[sic]? so its ok?
illegal occupation won in illegal wars waged against israel. while i'll agree that 2 wrongs don't make a right, punishment of a defeated invader by taking some of its land is, in some sense, just. i'll also agree that the settlements are a bad idea, too much reminiscent of hitler saying that he merely wanted living space for his people. but securing your own borders isn't morally reprehensible. some of that security comes from holding strategic positions that are far easier to defend than the borders (for years syrian forces shelled what you would call legal settlements from the golan heights, for instance). perhaps israel wouldn't face as many attacks from people who have stated their goal as driving the jews into the sea. perhaps not. the arab population there has taken away their own hope by choosing leadership that would rather attack civilians than try to work a real peace (of which i'm not entirely certain could be reached due to extremists on both sides of the issue). which would at least gain them the moral upper hand.
