There is no right in these situations, but let me please point out a few facts that might make you think and that are never reported in the media, certainly I have never heard them in th UK.

When Israel left the land that is now Gaza to the people and withdrew 'Israelis' (if you want to read it as Jews), as was reported kicking & screaming in many cases, they left behind some of the most technologically advanced greenhouses in the world. What happended to them? Were they taken over & maintained & used to grow food not only for those citizens in the area, but also to export from Gaza City to bring wealth and jobs to the people of Gaza, which was the intention? No. They were destroyed completely. From this one incident what can we read? That the Palestinians have thier own technology and structure to build their own export markets or that they hate the Israelis & would simply do anything in their power to try to bring world sympathy to their own downtrodden selves? You make your own judgement on this one case alone, but there are others.

As so often happens I believe Golda Meier's comments have been taken out of context. Her attitude was this - how many people would condone sending out their own children with enough high explosives strapped to their bodies to not only kill themselves, but also to inflict as much damage to as many innocent civilians as possible? Yes women & children in the main is their aim, or why would they strike at supermarkets, family restaurants etc.

Are any of you interested in your family history & have been trying to compile family trees? If so I wonder how many of you have found whole parts of your family where the line ends with 'perished in the Holocaust' There are many of these in my family tree. I don't know exactly how many yet as I haven't had the heart to actually count them. This is not the first, nor will it probably be the last time that Jews are murdered wholesale for their beliefs. We are surely the most persecuted single group of people throughout history. Why? You go figure & come back to me with a sensible adult answer, because believe me I and I'm sure many of my fellow religionists are surely at a loss to know.
