 Having been active in the Israel/Palestine discussion for over 20 years I know the direction this line of questioning goes. Sorry, won't engage. I've said my piece. I don't engage Zionists of any flavor, hasbara, or any other faction of the pro-Israel/pro genocide team. Genocide is wrong, Israel should stop doing it. Stealing land for 80+ years is wrong, Israel should stop doing it. There isn't a problem with the people in Gaza, there is a problem with the Zionists who have been destroying every aspect of their existence since the Zionists gathered in the 1800s, worked to achieve the Balfour Declaration in 1917, then proceeded to ethnically cleanse (Nakba) the Palestinians, the innumerable atrocities (Sabra & Shatila merely 2 among them), USS Liberty for the American slaves, and on and on to present day full blow Holocaust by the Zionist upon the Palestinians...full circle, the Zionists have become the Nazis. Wonderful. So, sorry, I no longer do the back and forth and try to appease "the only democracy in the middle east". Good day to you, no further replies from me :) 
 Lies, you're a fool.
