I have no problem with the existence of Israel. I do however have a problem with the Palenstinian situation. Hopefully now they the Israelis dont have their puppet next door, they'll be inclined to make some actual concessions for a realistic palestinian state.
I wonder if the $2 a day has anything to do with living in an autocratic state run by the military, hmmmm. These people want legitimate opportunities to feed their families and live comfortably, things that everyone want.
Just to add, Islamic extremism is a bigger cop out than Israel.

Yes because Islamic extremism is the figment of Fox News imagination? Just the bogeyman created by western powers to justify their interventions? This is the cop out I am talking about.
Linking Israel to every ill that the middle east is the favourite trick, it is funny because the same middle east countries that have a problem with Israel don't seem to speak out in the defence all others that might be "oppressed" like multiple African countries or even Asian countries. They have made the middle east about Islam and politics, not about human rights or the rights of the Palestinians, lets not delude ourselves.
By supporting Hamas and Hezbollah they have sent the signal that they don't want a negotiated settlement of Palestine, so putting that at Israel feet is the classic cop out.
