Rabbi-Sol. Suicide bombers, of course, is a far worse crime than knocking down houses, but by knocking down someones house, you create the breeding ground for suicide bombers. Its a vicious circle and one that Ariel Sharon seems happy to perpetuate. I beleive the problem with Israel is not that it is a Jewish state but that it is a state of the Jewish people. That means that if you are not a Jew then you are not an Israeli and you do not have the same rights a Jews. It would be better for Israel to be a Jewish state but which allowed all its people, regardless of race, to be citizens of that state.
