Palestine

Always good to find someone interested in the Truth and not just their version of it.

But Israel is backed by a very powerful friend, the United States. So in 25 years, if we're to speak of the great injustice here, nothing has changed. What has changed is that the Palestinians have fought back.

Stateless and humiliated for so long, they've risen up against Israel's huge military machine, although they themselves have no arm, no tanks, no American planes and gun ships or missiles.

Some have committed desperate acts of terror, like suicide bombing. But for Palestinians, the overriding, routine terror, day after day, has been the ruthless control of almost every aspect of their lives, as if they live in an open prison. This film is about the Palestinians and a group of courageous Israelis united in the oldest human struggle - to be free.

Like the way you capitalize Truth. Yours, of course, is not a version, but the Truth.

"Desperate acts of terror." Wow, that's a sweet rationalization for mass murder.

In your truth, do you have an explanation for why other Muslim nations treat the Palestinians like the bubonic plague? Any explanation, in your truth, for why the Lebanese massacred them at Sabra and Shatila? I'll bet Sharon forced them to do it, right?

All the money donated to them, partly in blackmail, over the decades, any idea what happened to it?

Since Israel is the size of a postage stamp, entirely surrounded by truly HUGE Arab and Muslim nations, some of which have vast oil wealth, can you explain why, even if they couldn't touch Israel because of its powerful though distant protector (although that didn't stop them in the Six-Day War--oh, is that what you meant by humiliation? So true.) why have they not helped the suffering Palestinians. Who are...what? Starving? Homeless? Begging in the streets? Well, anyway, we all know they're desperate. So why is Israel the bad guy instead of their Arab brothers?

Or is it rude to ask? Get back to me with the Truth, now, you hear?
