Did you know... that an Israeli is not permitted entry at ALL into most Arab states, never mind to marry someone they love?

Did you know... that if you have merely VISITED Israel, you yourself would not be permitted entry at all into most Arab states, never mind to marry someone you love?

Did you know... that Amnesty International has become a relentlessly political organization that selectively ignores torture when it will get them higher donation totals from their donor base?

The More You Know.
Yup, I also know it was only supposed to last a year and has been extended over and over again and now made law to permanently separate those families. So, if you are a certain age your marriage is invalid? That is just stupid, there is no other word for it.
If Israel is going to continue to act like they are taking the high ground in this conflict they have to stop this kind of legislation and let Palestinians back to work and reunite the mixed families, and stop all retaliation actions... until then they are on equal footing with Palestine.

I know that Palestine does a great deal... much of which we would do in their situation. If a superpower came in and removed Americans from a Texas, Southern CA, or FL territory and dumped them into a desert with no rights in tents and them moved their people into their homes and infrastructures, then fired on them it would be total war. Something the US has done several times.
I don't agree with what Palestine is doing or what Israel is doing, they are both equally at fault; well Israel, Palestine and the UN with the US in the forefront.
I do know if someone comes to take my home they will die, if they try to relocate me they will die, if they try to put their kids in the school that my taxes and hard work built the school will burn...
I do not believe I would kill their kids on purpose, but I cannot conceive of their Apaches killing my kids and my neighbors kids as "retaliation" for something someone else did... if so, I may feel that they need to know what it feels like. I hope not, but I honestly don't know that I would not, I can't imagine losing my son... much less like that.
