Reply #10: What a perfectly silly thing to say.

What do you suggest is the peaceful way to treat someone wearing a suicide vest? Let me know.

HOW do you feel peaceful after a bus bombing, a market bombing, a restaurant bombing? I mean, isn't that asking a wee tiny bit much?

I've got a pro-Palestinian friend who was terribly distressed at all the bedwetting among the nervous Palestinian children. She never checked to see if the Israeli children were ever a bit upset being afraid of markets and buses and restaurants. Or asked the Palestinians what they were doing to make their kids feel safer.

May I suggest that blowing up your neighbors is NOT a good way to make friends? Kinda makes them want to return the favor, don't you think?

I'm touched that you think none of that matters.

When the Palestinians decided that the ways of Gandhi were not their ways, they made themselves unwelcome pretty much everywhere, not just Israel. But you only blame the Israelis. You don't blame Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon...all nations with locked doors. Well, Lebanon would lock them if they could. Tried killing them all instead. Blamed the Israelis for that one, too, didn't you. But the Lebanese were the ones who wanted them dead and made as sure of it as they could. Fun neighbors, the Palestinians.
