Palestinians only have stones to oppose one of the most powerful, well trained and equipped armies in the world. Stones against the most sophisticated military technology .It's hard to find a more powerful symbol of the imbalance of forces existing between the occupying army and the victims of the occupation.
Your last words are simply despicable. A good sample of hate speech and malicious slander. I was tempted to report them, but maybe it's better they remain here. They show a far right bigoted racist full of hate, not far from Edward Norton's character in American History X. Seek help
None of this is racist. In Gaza, Hamas was voted into power. Is it really a stretch to think that a Palestinian State would be a horrible place to live?
Palestine, for reasons obvious, had no election since 2006, and PLO remains in control outside of Gaza, so it's not really that simple. Furthermore, Hamas gains strength largely out of the larger ongoing conflict. Since a peaceful settlement is a precondition for an established Palestinian State to exist, the situation would possibly change a lot.
That stupid vote we've been discussing here was of course a load of BS, since the real issue is not Israel violating the rights of Palestinian women because of their gender. That's the dumbest line of attack I've heard in a while. The paramount issue is suffering of the Palestinians in general. Even the strongest supporters of Israel (and I consider myself a supporter of Israel, as opposed to its' government's policies, which I believe are damaging to the Jewish state in longterm) should be honest enough to acknowledge the Israeli authorities are not without their share of blame for terrible things that are going on. Just as we should have enough honesty to acknowledge harm done by known Palestinian elements.
I agree that Israel has done bad things. I just think that it's naive to think that a Palestinian state would give Palestinians the same rights that say, Arab Israelis enjoy
