I might be completely wrong, but I am having a very difficult time connecting these two instances. Of course, as an American who watches the abuses taken by insurance companies, I claim zero objectivity. I do not condone any murder, but I have great difficulty comparing these two instances.

Did the punishment fit the crime ?Take a Birds Eye view of Tel Aviv, take a Birds Eye’s view of Gaza do you notice a difference?.

Yes, I have seen the difference. For many years. Rockets from Gaza were flying towards Tel Aviv. Many people were leaving Gaza every day to work in Israel. The checkpoint to Gaza was overflowing with trucks with goods. From a bird's eye view it is clearly visible. Or did you mean something else?

And why are rockets falling on Israel? Israel deceleration of Independence was also a declaration of war on Palestine. This is our land now, a land grab. A dim wit with half a brain could see that this would lead to disaster. When the Balfour Declaration was announced the Zionist insisted it was not to be kept secret, the whole world should know. Do you think that the Palestinians were so stupid that they did not know what a homeland meant ? Balfour was also a strong supporter of the Aliens act that stopped Jew entering Great Britain, he never consulted the people of Palestine about his declaration, Did they not have a right to know?

Let's start with the fact that you can't give me a definition of who the "Palestinians" are, about whom you have been telling me for so long, trying to change the subject and instead of talking about the "punishment" that you thought up yourself, you started telling me what you read or heard in a very biased edition.

Just tell me how you define the concept of "Palestinians". Are they Jews, Arabs, Druze, Samaritans, Circassians and many other tribes that inhabited the area called Palestine and never existed as a country or state, or are they a certain type of Arabs, a nation, a collection of tribes? Where did they come from and where is their real homeland? And then I will tell you how pervertedly you understand what you are talking about

For hundreds of years, the territory of Syria and Palestine (this is the name of the area, not the country, like Tuscany or Silesia) was inhabited by Jews, Druze, assimilated descendants of the Hellenes, tribes of Turkic peoples, Circassians, Arameans, Samaritans and a few Arabs who came later than all from Egypt. And which of them do you call Palestinian?

All countries are a mixture of different people, does that mean there is no USA , Great Britain, France, etc. ? When the British put boots on the ground in Palestine or whatever you like to call it after the First World War. 95 percent of the people who lived there were as I called them Palestinian, you can call them what you want. You become a country when the rest of the world recognise you as that. Israel became a country in 1948, when the rest of the world recognised them as that. Largely because of the holocaust, and the persecution of Jews in eastern Europe which Palestinians had nothing to do with. There would be no Israel today only for the Holocaust or the persecution of Jews in Eastern Europe .The vast majority of Europe Jews were not Zionists. By what right did the British have to give a homeland to to Jews, the British mandate was supposed to help the people of Palestine gain independence, the Palestinians were 95 percent of the population when the British put boots on the ground there, they should have helped the majority of the people then the Palestinians to independence. The British never consulted the 95 percent of the population, Palestinians who lived there for hundreds of years.
