Besdies which, that's a weak argument. ALL humanity is capable of behaving like the Israelis, and many nations do so every day. You can't just say, "but they'd do the same to us if the shoe was on the other foot", and expect that to suffice.
No, it doesn't. It makes them victims of injustice, though, if they're getting the living shit kicked out of them for a bullshit reason. Like, say, "the Bible says this land is destined to belong to us. Get moving. We'll be right behind you with weapons, though, in case you look at us wrong. We'll also occasionally storm your civilian territories, just to make sure."
Fun for you. If only this was reflected in government policy.
Also, where's the fact you promised? I just heard opinion there.

The fact that you ignored my main reason for stating what I have stated shows me that you're simply trying to make me look bad. Each part of that post was not several different independent reasons for different things. But a collective reasoning to my opinion that the world should cut off total support to both sides. Not only that, but they shouldn't have given so much support in the first place. Do I think it's a fair or good thing that Israel is doing what they're doing? No, it's not. It's an unfair fight from the get go. Does that mean you expect Israel's allies to change sides and support the other for a while? Because if so, "ethnic cleansing" WILL happen the other way.
It's a racist war in that regards. Hell, I'm against war in general. And yes, I'm well aware that the USA does the same damned thing. The US crushed Afghanistan in a couple of weeks. Some countries are stronger than others. Simple as that. BUT, I will say that the US starting shit in the mid east over a handful of criminals is a BAD thing.
