Israel demoniser? Quacks like a duck!

Yep. I condemn both Palestinian and Israeli crimes. How about you? Have you the courage to answer?

Had these atrocities been committed by any other group, condemnation would have been immediate, unequivocal and universal, yet, in this instance, it was not. Why? Because of Israel's own abhorrent record of committing atrocities against the Palestinians.

The Hamas terrorist POV is perfectly mirrored to the Israeli ultra nationalist POV

Just as Israeli ultra nationalists celebrated Rabin's murder.

Every year that passes, less and less of the world supports Israel. America, Israel's staunchest supporter, is not immune to the global trend. https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj6gOWdrOuBAxWGs1YBHSMKDOQ4ChAWegQIAhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.gallup.com%2Fpoll%2F472070%2Fdemocrats-sympathies-middle-east-shift-palestinians.aspx&usg=AOvVaw1ziv6Be7n4FepkWi3usu1g&opi=89978449

Oh? Was it everyone in Palestine that committed the recent attacks against Israeli's? The hypocrisy of Israeli apologists is off the charts.

75 years Palestinians have survived Israeli occupation. I think it is much more likely that, within the next 75 years, that there is Palestinian state than the Israeli occupation still existing. Without unquestioning US support, Israel would be in an immediate existential crises. US global hegemony will likely only decrease in the decades ahead. Uh oh!

It certainly wasn't the Palestinians or the Iranians was it, eh?

Israel will certainly kill plenty of Palestinians, lifting their usual Palestinian murder rate by several orders of magnitude in the days and weeks ahead; but only a fool would believe this whole situation won't be repeated again and again in the years ahead. Give it a few years and many hundreds or thousands of Israeli's will again be murdered by disgruntled Palestinians...., and so on and on it goes.

If Israel treated Palestinians with respect would Palestinians still want to see the destruction of Israel?

If the Israeli's were serious about wanting peace, they wouldn't have murdered Yitzhak Rabin.

Why is the question crass and inconsiderate? Now that this gentleman has first hand experience of what the last 75 years have been like for Palestinians under Israeli occupation, perhaps the lightbulb has finally flickered to life for him. Had he and his fellow Israeli's managed a to be a touch more empathetic towards decades of Palestinian suffering his family would not be in such an awful predicament. We reap what we sow.

Bull<deleted> excuses to enable Israel to continue stealing land.

Are Hamas instigating or retaliating against the instigators? Your one sided "long term" solution is nonsense. Israel has the power to unilaterally impose a border upon the Palestinians but they refuse to as it would mean an end to their ability to steal Palestinian land.

You are right to condemn the abhorrent actions of Hamas. You are wrong to excuse the abhorrent actions of the Israeli government. The moral and ethical deficiencies of both sides are precisely equal - one must be either dishonest or ignorant to assert otherwise.

Huh? Reread the post you are responding to, this makes no sense.

The imbalance between the two sides has only grows greater day by day. You are again wrong.

And most Israelis don't think Palestine has a right to exist. No border will be acceptable to either side but a border must be enforced. When children are quarrelling - an adult needs to step in. The US could make it a reality but their politicians haven't the courage.

I don't know any Israeli's. I don't like Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands. I believe Israel has a right to exist, but that that existence must be within defined borders somewhat similar to the 1967 green line. I also believe that the rising right wing fundamentalist extremism within Israel is a growing concern that will cause a great deal of harm to Palestinians and Israeli's What I don't like is the unquestioning support of Western powers for Israel's illegal occupation as it is the only thing that is preventing peace in the Middle East.

Indeed they would.

Quacks like a duck.

Canary in the coal mine. Israel is heading down a very dark path, the succession of increasingly extremist right wing governments, led by a corrupt politician hell bent on maintaining power, is going to end very badly.
