Oh give me a break! The Palestinians engage in the worst sort of Islamic terrorism and are fully responsible for their own condition going back to the late 1960s. Ever hear of Black September or the PLO or the Achille Laurel or the TWA Flight 847 hijacking? Or SW 2nd Class Robert Stethem, a Navy Seabee murdered by Hezbollah terrorists? Israel is the only western-style democracy in the Middle East and it has every right to defend itself and its citizens against these barbarians. So no, no sympathy here for the Palestinians. They made their own bed and they can continue laying in it.
