Could you back this up? As far as I know, the United States has been sending Israel money ever since the State of Israel was proclaimed.

How could Israel possibly justify an attack against a peaceful society that had renounced violence in all forms?

So the Palestinians ought to roll over and die, like the Jews used to do?
goethan: The point is that British India was largely an economic occupation. The Indians vastly, vastly outnumbered the British in India. By your numbers, the Palestinians are outnumbered.
(this is second hand, but...) I believe that Gandhi said that what he did would only have been possible in British India.
