In the eyes of the anti-Zionists, Israel shouldn't be allowed to exist or to defend themselves when attacked. Clearly its these people who don't feel that Israel should be held to the same standards. Israel is trying to live under the same standards. When people attack them, they attack back. Israel has never ever ever ever ever been the aggressor, and has ALWAYS been the defender. Every use of force on the part of Israel has been in DEFENSE, and every attack against Israel has been OFFENSIVE.
You can bet your ass that if Mexico started blowing up Americans in Southern California, America wouldn't make concessions, offer land, give food, clothing, and shelter, or otherwise assist those people. You can bet your life if this happened consistently for decade after decade, Mexico would be taken over entirely and a huge number of their population would be destroyed.
Israel has the power to destroy all of its neighbors without any help from America. The only thing stopping this is Israel's own restraint. Were I in charge of a nation and my neighbors were blowing up my people for decades, I'd kill each and every single living thing in that country if it would save the people in mine. I'd give them the choice to live in peace or to rest in peace. This is what Israel should do.
Israel should put the fate of the so-called Palestinians in their own ability to stop their people from attacking Israeli Jews. Let them know in no uncertain terms that if there is a single attack against Jews, every man, woman, and child will be allowed to evacuate and those who don't will be killed. This would mean the so-called Palestinians would report all of their own people who planned attacks for fear of losing everything. They would kill these people before they could kill Jews.
