Eva, there certainly are a pair of metaphors regarding the Israeli/Palestinian issue, quite possibly the most apt is the one that posits there is usually a good difference in between the arsonist and the firefighter. Hopefully, that will make it straightforward for you to understand the situation. If not, I’ll make it even clearer: the Israelis are the firefighters. n nSecond, there is significantly less and less of an “occupation.” The PA essentially runs the West Bank (brutally, I may well add…you could possibly want to glance into that) and Hamas runs Gaza entirely. So tell me, where are the Israeli’s “brutal and humiliating occupation?” Any crimes committed against the “occupied population” are by the Palestinians themselves; if Israelis commit any, they are adjudicated by Israeli courts and the perpetrators are held responsible. n nResistance fighters? Hardly. They’re thugs and terrorists pure and simple. The Arabs could have had their own state at any time since the Peel Commission back again in the ’30s. Killing Jews is their raison d’être.
