"Revenge-driven Bronze Age -style raid." BAWAHAHAHA!

Sorry, but that's absurd, unless you are also willing to make the same comparison between the modern Israel-Arab conflict and the conquest, and sometimes very much bragged-about genocide, of the Canaanites by the Israelites in the real Bronze Age.

Does anyone deserve to be raped, you ask, But you don't ask, does anyone deserve to be subject to ethnic cleansing and apartheid? If you support Israel, you must answer Yes.

Condemning the Palestinians while not taking into account what the Israelis are doing unto them is as disingenuous as my own ancestors condemning the Comanches raiding them after they settled on land they KNEW the Comanche considered their own.

You didn't seem to finish reading what I wrote before running to the comment section. I wrote, in this very same article: "And if anyone else does the exact same thing I would say the exact same thing. This has nothing to do with picking a side. But, why did I write that? Because people seem to think of Israel and Palestine as teams for which to root."
