The land of Israel belonged to the Jews for thousands of years, now we hear that Palestinians lived there for a couple of hundred years?

Why do Arab lands forbid Jews from living in them without harassing the Jews?

How come in Iraq until recently Christians were murdered at will by violent Muslim gangs?

Religion is the root of all evil, do away with the entitlement that religion provides to kill the outside group others and get people to cooperate instead of blow themselves up.

Children are taught to kill and hate in Arab lands, how come these miscreants cannot concentrate on raising their middle ages mentality to get with the present?

Keep defending these creatures and one day you will be blown up while taking a bus or train to get to work or get back home. Then you might learn what this is all about…

While I am no fan of Hamas, abuse is abuse. The old saying, it's not who's right, it's what's right seems to apply here. Both sides have committed heinous acts against the other. It would be so simple if one side is wholly right and the other wholly wrong. That is not the case here. My prayers are with Obama.
