"Yes, these Islamists stoop very low, but were Israel to stoop as low as them, then I would see no reason why it should even continue to exist!"
What could they do to stoop lower?
- Rebomb the hospitals, ambulances and refugee camps again?
Dig the corpses of the women and kids up, somehow bring them back to life, and then murder them a second time?

Hi AC,

I totally agree with your take on this. I find any fundo religion, be it Islam, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, etc etc extremely dangerous. The fundamentalist wants to believe the radical bigotry and hatred, it fires their already existing prejudices against all others who not like them. Saying that, that in itself is not enough to radicalise large numbers within the faith, a combination of social and economic factors have to be present as well.

An analogy; A man gets a puppy, he beats the puppy everyday, when the puppy grows up it becomes savage. Is the animal savage because its a dog, or is it savage because it was beaten everyday. OR because it's a dog which was beaten every day? The third is a combination of the first two facts, which I agree with.

AC, you seem to have gone a little extreme.

Dear Critic,

«What could they do to stoop lower?
- Rebomb the hospitals, ambulances and refugee camps again?»

The IDF is and always been under strict orders to try and prevent civilian casualties whenever possible. Many IDF soldiers have gone to great lengths to follow these orders and as a result of trying to save civilian lives incurred more casualties than they otherwise would.
Some possibly failed to follow these orders and should any soldier ever be found to deliberately harm civilians, then they do not deserve to live and should suffer the harshest punishment.

«Treat others how you'd like to be treated, otherwise expect blowback.
The Israeli occupation relies on intelligence to be effective, and in order to have intelligence, you need informants and subjugation.»

I agree with the need to have intelligence and informants, but not with subjugation.
Israel ought to behave in ways that will win the hearts of the local population, not their fear and hatred.

UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) claims that 5.9 million Palestinians are refugees; BUT, fewer than 200,000 of them meet the official criteria for refugee status because they were displaced by the 1948 war. The rest are children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren that UNRWA automatically registers as refugees. 

Not only does UNRWA falsely claim funding for FAKE REFUGEES; it also uses the money of Australian taxpayers and others to print text books to teach Palestinian children to incite hatred of Israel and Jews. 

"Not only does UNRWA falsely claim funding for FAKE REFUGEES; it also uses the money of Australian taxpayers and others to print text books to teach Palestinian children to incite hatred of Israel and Jews."

- The evil thing here was putting tens of thousands at risk of starvation due to claims of a few people associated with Hamas.
- You don't put thousands of innocent lives at risk because the refugee agency had some alleged links to Hamas.

And what, the Palestinians are supposed to love the people who murder and genocide them and steal their land?
When was the last time you hugged a Australian Palestinian Muslim and said 'I'm so glad you're here", you expect the Palestinians to act that way towards the Jews who commit and support atrocities against them?
It's completely unrealistic, and I've seen Jews teach their kids to hate as well, so you are trying to say one side is better when they are as bad as each other.
You skip the finer details ttbn, but the finer details are the meat in the sandwich.

Maybe the Palestinians should provide the Israelis with tea and scones as well?
Why don't they just pull their pants down and bend over and beg to be sodomised too?

And on the other side of things...
We teach our 10 year old kids about oral and anal sex and how to question their own gender.

Don't make out like we're morally righteous in the treatment of our own kids, because we're not that much better.
We allow homosexual men and trans people to adopt and raise kids.
