I heard that they are whiping out Palestinians. But is Palesinte terrorist want to do the same thing to Israel.
Now what nation isn't guilty of waring against one people
In Africa you had Africans and Arabs selling africans into slaves
IN Europes you had wars against each other especially against the Celtic and Slav people
In China you have HAn people wiping out Turkish ethnic groups.
In Mexico you had them killing of the Apache tribes before the U.S went to war against them
U.S army and many European settlelers went and took land of the native americans and the aboriginals
IN Turkey you have them whiping of Kurds and Armenians
Even Native AMericans are not innocent since many were fierce against other tribes. Like the Aztecs that were brutal in battle.
The empires of the past, Persia, Egypt, Rome, Greece, Babylon etc. Were all nations that fought against each other.
So what the big deal?

Study the conflict in detail - then you will know.

The big deal these days is because it is on Television News 24 hours a day

With the advent of cheap movie cameras and easy access to the world via the Internet, Israeli censorship has failed, and the lies, distortion and brutality of their regime is now available to all to see. People of the world are now seeing the truth of what has been going on in Israel for over 60 years, and they don't like it.

What makes this different to most of what you mentioned, is that those events occured before Agencies like the International Criminal Court prohibited Crimes against humanity (known as "The Rome Statutes")

For a quick insight, Read,

Israeli groups are able to help Palestinians or report crimes of Israeli settlers against Palestinians. The Israeli government tolerates that and the causers are convicted through rule of law. Israel allows Palestinians to work there. Israel allows palestinian athletes to join Israeli clubs.

There are no Palestinian groups who helps Israelis because it is not allowed. Causers of crimes against Israelis are cheered in Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinians are forbidden to work for the Israelis. Palestinians who join Israeli sport clubs are punished.

And that quick insight is a story written for a Ant-Israeli organisation. It's biased not neutral. Homepage here.

You do not want peace there, you want the jews out. You want that country removed. You don't care about the average palestinian, you use them. Like their leaders do. Where are your Arab friends? A report says the following " Despite the much-hyped Arab nationalist solidarity often cited in the name of Palestine, most Arab regimes actually have little love for the Palestinians."

I am not sure where you guys witness all the hate for Israel. Majority of the U.S supports Israel and want to keep supporting them; they just don't like certain actions of Israel. Despite what a lot of people say, I don't think it only has to do with lobbyist, but the fact that U.S is growing weary of Arab nations.

It is in U.S's interest that Israel survives; the benefits are mutual.

What LeEnfield said is the main reason. Particularly, the Middle-east conflicts have more attention of most countries (the citizens) than other regions around the world. There are anti and pro arguements all over and they make sure to get bad news about the opposite side and good news for their side.

Death will occur amidst a battle, civillian or combatant, the main difference is who is purposely being targeted. If they are targeting civillians and get back to their own country and people find out about it, they should be charged (this does not happen in Palestine). Israel, U.S, Canada, and other western countries charge their soldiers when they are wreckless and cause civillian deaths. As long as Hamas continue to or attempt to shoot rockets into Israel, the blockade will be justified.

I´ve been a military observer with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) and I have seen a lot of things. Have you ever been there?

One old newspaper hack once said to me, "Any news is good news but bad news is even better" and bad news sells papers and increases the numbers watching events unfold on TV

I was talking about the history of the conflict, and no I have never served there. When and where have you served there?
