Eva, there certainly are a few of metaphors regarding the Israeli/Palestinian issue, by far the most apt is the one which posits there is usually a excellent difference concerning the arsonist and the firefighter. Hopefully, that will make it uncomplicated for you to understand the situation. If not, I’ll make it even clearer: the Israelis are the firefighters. n nSecond, there is much less and much less of an “occupation.” The PA essentially runs the West Bank (brutally, I might add…you might want to look 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 again in the ’30s. Killing Jews is their raison d’être.
