By the way, conflict is in Palestine which continues.
Funds of the ODA year of 100,000,000 dollars Japanese Government pays are provided for towns and villages in Palestine as urgent expense for measures for the unemployed via UNDP.
By the money, about Palestinian 200,000 people is employed a year, and repairing houses destroyed by IDF and forestation destroyed olive fields.
These days,I feel.
The more america critisize Iran, the more Iran's hard core gets power in senate.
Thanks to American policy,now Iranians go to old guard.

First, we can't refuse to sell arms to an ally. Second, every bit of support that is given to Palestinians, Hamas takes and buys arms from Iran, Russia, China, and many others. Third, the Palestinians have a good source of income, Israel. They are the only country that will employ Palestinians and allow them to sell and buy. It's only when Hamas attacks Israelis that Palestinians are not allowed to cross into Israel.

You can be the best of friends with jews and dislike israel because israel is a state that has national responsibilities which are at ends with many people around the world. Now if you meant that a person is anti-semitic anyway and wants to do harm to israel then that makes sense, but rarely do you see that in entire nations other than the ones around the mid east..

It is very convenient to hide one's anti-semitism behind the anti-israeli sentiments...Don't you agree?

Same thing for the west bank which has a quarter million israelis living there and israel controls most of the water in that region as well.

If israel doesn't want to worry about "defending" itself anymore, then serious talk has to be made about letting go of these areas and working out arrangements to share the resources in those areas.

I agree israel was wronged in 1948, but they did preemtively attack in 1956 and 1967 which led to an arab attack in 1973. A lot of the problems aren't solely the fault of arabs, israel does take a lot of blame as well.

So far, situation with the Golan Heights is simple - who keeps them, controls either Israel or Damascus.
Would you agree to let a jerk(and this is a very mild statement about the Syrian government!) to keep a gun at your head when you have him in your sights already?

Sure,
when the Israelis had left the very profitable farms in Gaza strip to the Palestinians, what has happened to them?

They have been looted by those people you want to make rich...

True, we have the same regulations. We trade weapons with our NATO allies, however we demand an end user agreement of no further sale of the product, making it harder to end up in the weaponry of an "unwanted" third party. On the other hand components manufactured by Norwegian arms companies for export to NATO allies are not under this regulation (rocket engines, electronics...).
