AH
No land previously belonging to the Ottoman Empire.
it did not belong to the Jews and it didnt belong to the Arabs. Thats why they had a war which Israel won thus securing its claim to the land, the Palestinians and her Arab Allies lost.

well we must start with the first sin ~ the occupation of the west bank after the '67 war. and yes we have an historical reference for france ~ german occupation of france, and surprise...surprise the french fought back. the germans started with a policy of ten random frenchmen against the wall for one german soldaten killed by the resistance.

it grew to 70 for 1 at which point both roosevelt and churchill pleaded for the resistance to stop, and guess what? they didn't!

a true case of; either your with us or against us

Jewish murderers are at it again!

BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Four Palestinians killed in Gaza

Only the later Palestinian retaliation was reported in the US media.

I don't see how killing 3 militants and 1 civilian is murder. Seems like urban combat numbers to me, in war people die, Palestine chose its course when they chose Hamas.

Cry, cry, cry, then repeatedly lob rockets day and night is not good foreign press. Especially when over zealous interests on the front of Palestinian PR muddy the water with fake atrocities.

Americans largely ignore Israel. Israelis killing palestinians certainly isn't the type of news thats going to get a lot of coverage. There is all sorts of reasons as to why.

The four dead were retaliation for the rocket attack that killed one.

Why the Palestinians continue such a useless war that only harms them is beyond me. They'll never get what they want through war.

Sure but I'm just going to go with common sense reasons, I'm not writing a paper on the topic.

About half of the US is apathetic to political news in general, unfortunately the half that does care about such things contain about 5 million jews who can be very turned off by what they may consider bias news.

NPR/PBS (our state run media) does report on it, but I just think the producers of US news must think its a loser ratings wise. Maybe certain ones have agendas idk, idc. If you are an American that care about such things there is nothing stopping you from finding out about it.

Last but not least is that its popularity as a story fades in and out.

I know enough of the topic myself to have what I'd consider a pretty informed opinion. Whether you like it or not m some people just don't see it the way you do.

Oxymoron, please tell me why you have a Kach logo in your signature?

That's the equivalent to a pro-Palestinian waving Al Qaeda flags around.
