you raise lots of points that I will try to answer.You wont like my answers.

Firstly the writers of the above are out and out Zionists who basically believe that the Palestinian people have few if any rights at all...indeed I suspect that to even use the term "Palestinian" is like a red rag to a bull for most of them.

Secondly none seem to really deny the historic fact that the Palesinians were ethnically cleansed from their land .....it seems to be an irrelevance to the above ,but for the real life Palestinians it is overriding factor in their lives...the fact that they have been exiled,bombed,half starved,humiliated, imprisoned and beaten up by thugs who are proud to call themselves Zionists.

There is also a deliberate confusion betwen the Palestinan people and those who have led them .The leadership has been poor,ill judged and worse...but that does not negate the legitimate claim of the Palestinians to receive justice in international law and common humanity.

The state of Israel has used its mighty military machine,backed by the power of the USA and others including the UK to pulverise the Palestinian resistance for decades but for some strange reason the Palestinians will not lie down and die or crawl away....the resistance keeps reasserting itself through the Intifadas,through peaceful and armed resistance and through cultural struggle.Palestinian consciousness is probably greater now than ever before despite the factional fighting in Gaza.

And for many across the world the mask of plucky little Israel has slipped to reveal the racism,the horror and the mass murder that has accompanied the Zionists in their attempt to wipe out the Palestinians from their land.Ithas been a long road from Deir Yassin to the slaughterhouse camps in Beirut ,the illegal occupation of the West Bank,the annexation of East Jerusalem ,the mass murder of civilians ,Palestinians and Lebanese last summer,the Apartheid Wall and the deliberate starving of over a million Palestinians in the large prison we call Gaza.Tens of thousands of children are malnourished and half starved in Gaza as a deliberate consequence of Israeli political policy but the Israelis will not be able to kill them all and they will grow up to become the next generation of fighters.Is that what Israel really wants?
And by the way the aura of Israeli invincibility has gone probably never to return....despite its napalm,F16s .apache gunships,merkova tanks,cluster bombs,high explosives,warships and assassination squads the Israeli military took a pounding in the hills of Lebanon last summer...despite the military aid provided by the USA and the UK which both took a prominent role in the resupply of the bombs and rockets used to destroy the civilian infrastructure of Lebanon.

I dont think for one moment that any of the hardened Zionists reading this will change their views but there are millions across the world including many Jewish people who are sickened by the dead end murderous solutions of the Zionists.
