Israel vs Palestine = Genocide?
What Israel is doing to Palestine is called "Ethnic Cleansing". It is different from genocide in some areas but they are both considered crimes against humanity. Here is the wikipedia definition; Ethnic cleansing is the process or policy of eliminating unwanted ethnic or religious groups by deportation, forcible displacement, mass murder, or by threats of such acts, with the intent of creating a territory inhabited by people of a homogeneous or pure ethnicity, religion, culture, and history. Ethnic cleansing usually involves attempts to remove physical and cultural evidence of the targeted group in the territory through the destruction of homes, social centers, farms, and infrastructure, and by the desecration of monuments, cemeteries, and places of worship. The crimes committed during an ethnic cleansing is similar to that of genocide, but while genocide includes complete extermination of the target group as the stated goal, ethnic cleansing may involve murder only to the point of mobilizing the target group out of the territory. Hence there may be varied degrees of mass murder in an ethnic cleansing, often subsiding when the target group appears to be leaving the desired territory, while during genocide the mass murder is ubiquitous and constant throughout the process, continuing even while the target group tries to flee.
Since 1949 the US has given Israel a total of $84,854,827,200.?
OK you have some good arguments and if you are Jewish I understand your anger. But the Mossad and IAF claim they thought it was an Egyptian vessel. The Egyptians were using boats that were so obsolete they might as well have been frigates. I think the Mossad are liars. Your right that there are a lot of Palestinians are maniacs who would kill anyone who is not Muslim. The bottom line is though is that The USA should not arbitrarily send tax dollars to the Israeli government that has been guilty of massacres and duplicity. Its none of our business. Your right on about the PLO not taking a sweet deal to insure its own existence but I think the US and Israel has some culpability for the corrupt PA leadership.
