I post the Israeli side of the argument because it is rarely given a hearing here. Oh sure, the conflict is discussed/argued ad nauseum but primarily from the side of the poor Arab step children and how they are so shoddily treated by the Israelis. I simply posted one view among many and people are free to accept or dismiss it as they see fit. I just like to occasionally remind anyone here who still has an open mind on the subject that there are indeed TWO sides to the conflict. Think what you will but I doubt you can find evidence to disprove a single fact stated in the video.
Edited to say: For the record I don't attempt to name anti semites. It's just a title. I'm more concerned with the animals who butcher families in their homes to include slashing the throat of an infant. These are they that you seem to feel are so mistreated.
Where did I say anyone was mistreated?
Where did I condone violence and hatred?
Where did I raise the Arab's or Palestinian's concerns above the concerns of Israeli's?
Nice attempt at a personal smear job, however.
The point I was making is that there will be no reconciliation until both sides are willing to acknowledge their own failings, rather than simply point to the failings of the other. You posting supremely biased "information" does not bring that reconciliation any closer.
As for the "Israeli side not being given a fair hearing here", I think you will find that is a gross misstatement. From my experience on these forums it is simply that Israel is not given a free pass because of a past atrocity. However, the people and nation of Israel are not treated any more harshly in words than those who are in conflict against them. Any who promote violence and atrocity are equally lambasted here, while those promoting peace are equally lauded.
