If a foreign army invaded the US and killed US citizens and destroyed our homes and imprisoned thousands without trial for years, would we fight back? We wouldn't want to. We'd probably first offer them free schoolin' and health care.

Read this and tell me that you would react any differently towards Israel than the current Palestinians are. 40% unemployment rate, 50%among the youth, A once thriving fishing industry decimated by Israeli constraints. www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-20415675Mike

curious choice of dates to highlight and generalizing of "ethnic".

The dates are historically significant. The Juan Cole article outlines why. The word "ethnic" is in reference to the Palestinian population who generally have broadly shared cultural, geographical and racial backgrounds and origins.

That's now what's happening we are giving them medical, drivers license, schools, food stamps, etc. And this current bunch of kids is no different, just cannon fodder covering up a cartel army.

Moving Israel to Texas could kill two birds with one stone.

We're being invaded by a foreign army? I had no idea. Thank God someone let me know.

Yes, the kids coming across the border penniless and fleeing from gangs and drug lords are the same as 50,000 professional soldiers using tanks, flechette bombs, F16 fighters and Apache attack helicopters. Try to keep up Todd.

In Iowa? Is this a trick question? Can we finish this thread out with questions only?

If we did, wouldn't that be a good thing?

It would. But wouldn't it be better with a bit of flange?

There's a Mid East video clip (supporting Israeli side of things) that states palestine never had a land of their own. They were controlled by the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) Until WWI. Then Briton created a Jordanian state that encompassed Palestine. The Palestinians heave never had their own state. Here's a different (longer) version Shows the Arab nations have never supported their Palestinian bretheran when they had the chance. Instead they only call for the destruction of Israel.
