How a Pro-Palestinian American Reporter Changed His Views on Israel and the Conflict

28. I'm very well aware of where

Israeli comes from - we have a "history". No - this isn't a stalemate - Israel has already won by becoming a viable state with a viable economy, countries all over the world look to it for innovation and technology.

So you're perfectly okay with Palestinians going back generations for their piece of the pie but somewhere along that historical line, you want to stop and forget the fact that Jews go back to that land for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. And they could have had that pie - a big chunk of it. If they had only taken what was offered to them - more than once. You have never answered, not even once, what justification and how the Palestinians have earned unlimited do-overs for their state - want to take a stab at it or should they just keep refusing what's offered because it isn't what they consider perfect? The lives of most Israeli's is fine - they would like to live in peace. It's the Palestinians of gaza that lead lives of misery - that's what happens when you vote in terrorists who steal your money, build tunnels instead of schools and hospitals and then cancel all elections. And why did they vote hamas? Because they thought hamas would lead them to victory through violence. Stupidity doesn't even cover it. But they will continue to listen to their "friends" who tell them to continue suffering, that victory against the little satan is right around the corner and they'll be in the same situation 10 years from now they are in now. Wonderful. When their leaders decide to show some actual courage and sit down with the dreaded Israeli's, get back to me. Until then, their lives are exactly what their leaders want them to be.
