I know Isreal has suffered less losses then the palestinians. My point is, What happened happened almost 40 years ago, and it is the palestinians who keeps dragging it out. I am not an Isreali nor a jew, but I do see the overall picture the the palestinians are sending kids to blow themselves up, for what? The kids do not even know, they just know that by killing themselves as well as others they will goto heaven and get 79 virgin women (or men in the case of the female bombers). I thought the almighty God is the one who decided who goes to heaven and who doesn't, not the Men and women that are taking these children and telling them to blow themselves up. That sounds like brainwashing more then anything.
Speaking of the American Revolutionary war, thousands died then too, just like over in the middle east, but it all lasted less then a year, whereas the palestinians have dragged it out to more then 30 years now. When will they quit? When Isreal gives the land back or when all palestinians are dead?
Also it isn't whomever has the most money is a friend of the United States. It all has to do with freedom and living in peace with each other. It appears Isreal has tried to live in peace with the palestinians but the Palestinians simply do not want the same.
What would happen if the US decided the only way to restore peace was to send the US Military into the region to restore peace?? See what happened in Afganistan? Peace was retored there within months of the US Military showing up.
As long as the Palestinian government allows groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and all the others to conduct terrorist acts on Isreal, then Isreal has all the rights in the world to go in and stop the actions at their sources, and that happens to be in Palesinian controlled areas.
