Reply to Mohamed: You are either dangerously misinformed or you are part of the propaganda machine. Israel is NOT an apartheid state. Behind the green line, Israel is a pluralistic society that is 20% Arab/Muslim. In addition, Israel has Ethiopian Jews, Russian Jews, Moraccan Jews, Argentinian Jews, Christians, and the Bahai faith has its world headquarters in Haifa.

Contrast this with Jordan which does not allow a single Jew to live in the entire country!

You say the Jews in Gaza don't belong there. First, Jews have lived in Gaza for about 900 years. Jews also lived in ancient Gaza during bibilical times. After the 1967 war, UN resolution 242 gave Israel military and administrative control over Gaza, making the occupation legal under international law. The Oslo accords handed over large portions of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority. But the 20 some Jewish communities in Gaza were not handed over.

Hence NO APARTHEID and NO ILLEGAL OCCUPATION.

Then you go on to accuse Israel of practicing Jewish supremacy and genocide. What planet are you living on? Dementia? ALL people living in Israel have the right to practise whatever religion they wish openly and without reprisal. (try that in most of the Arab countries!!) As to genocide, Israel must be doing a pretty piss-poor job of it. Since the population of Gaza and the West Bank has INCREASED 3-fold since 1967. The death toll in the conflict has killed about 1000 Israelis and about 3000 Palestinians. This is NOT genocide by anyone's definition. But you are slavering with your desire to compare the Israelis to the Nazis. This is simply demonstating your own prejudice and your inability to examine facts rationally.

Hitler gassed 6 million Jews.
Hitler used military force in an attempt to subjugate all of his neighboring countries.
Israel has done none of these things.

Israel has only imposed checkpoints, security barriers, id checks, in an attempt to catch or kill the people who have attacked Israeli civilians and are planning new attacks. Any country on earth would do this.

Arafat has actually encouraged children to throw rocks at Israeli tanks. He sees the PR potential in any injured or killed child. That protest march in Rafah recently where 8 people were killed (possibly by IDF rocket fire) had children at the front of a breakaway march going into a war zone defying curfew. IT IS THE ORGANIZERS OF THE PROTEST WHO PURPOSELY AND CYNICALLY PUT CHILDREN IN HARM'S WAY TO PROMOTE THEIR OWN CAUSE.

They are not fighting against "oppression" but against the existance of a Jewish State--no matter how tiny--- anywhere in the mideast.

And don't give me your BS about the Palestinians fighting for freedom from Israel. They have turned down an independent state four or five times, the most recent time under Bush's roadmap to peace. They don't want an independent state of Palestine. They want to annihilate the Jewish State of Israel. Perhaps you do to.

As to your idea of one state ---Palestine--where all religions can worship freely (putting aside that in modern Israel all religions can worship freely already) can you give me a single example of an Arab/Muslim country where this is currently happening? No??? Well why would you advocate the destruction of the only Jewish democracy in the world to set up a state that has almost zero chances of being this free society that you have outlined?
