\People here in muslim countries feel that Israel and western support killing innocents everyday.
Hi, moegypt! Good to meet up with you again and I hope all is well with you.
As to your comment, from my Western point of view, do people near you not see what a hard sell it is for us Westerners to take away support for Israel as along as Palestinians are intentionally targeting civilians in Israel?
Imagine for a moment...that Palestinians had taken the way of Ghandi instead. That the violence was so clearly one sided and against them. That the settlements were there (as they are).
Do you imagine there would continue to be any support from Americans if this were the case? I assure you support to Israel would be shortly cut off if that violence was lopsided against the Palestinians. There would be no argument to be made to defend an Israeli gov't that killed civilians when they were not being shot at.
As long as Palestinians fire armaments indiscriminately and use Mickey Mouse to teach their children to "kill Jews" they will find it very difficult to find any sympathy or support here in the U.S.
Which is very unfortunate, because there is at least some understanding here of the plight average peaceful Palestinians have to endure just to try and farm their own land and move around in territory that's supposedly theirs.
If there is any peace to be had in that region, two things must happen at minimum:
- Palestinians must give up terrorism as a political tool.
- The Israeli gov't must remove their boots from Palestinian necks
Unfortunately both sides have dug their heels in deeper and deeper over the years.
Until someone, somewhere is willing to offer a chance to move, there will only be more death.
