The simple answer to that question is this: Palestinians cause problems because Israelis mistreat them, kill them, literally steal their land despite international condemnation. Let us not forget that Israel has an army, a navy, a blank check from the USA, and around 200 WMDs. Palestine has nothing.
The 4 dead Israelis is sad, & everyone must condemn this. But to put the numbers in perspective: Since 2000, total number of Jewish civilians killed: 738. Palestinians killed: 6,404.
Sir, I am an American. I could care less if it's "your" land or "theirs." Reading your immature, ignorant generalizations like "the[y're] all crooks!! and u know it!!"
Try a new mentality for a change: right vs wrong.
Friend, I truly fail to see your point. It is silly for us to debate fight tactics used. You say Palestinians use human shields? I say Israelis use white phosphorous on civilians, completely against international human rights law. It goes back and forth. Let us remember that one group is correctly labeled "crazy terrorists," and the other group committing human rights violations is a "civilized democratic government." You show HOW they fight, I say ask urself WHY they fight.
Not rude at all, a valid attempt at an argument. Roughly 3000 lives were lost on 9/11. A true tragedy. And no, it was not by Palestinians - but you're close. It was in fact Al-Qaeda (bin Ladin is Saudi, not Pali).
Now a question for you - WHY were my people were killed? I'll tell you. The 9/11 Commission hearings stated that Osama & Khalid Sheikh Mohamed (the true orchestrator) attacked NOT bc of "religious" reasons, but SPECIFICALLY BC USA AIDES ISRAEL IN KILLING PALESTINIANS.
You see, it is quite simple really. Not only does Israel slaughter innocent Palestinians, bulldoze their homes, illegally occupy their land - it now does so at the risk of American lives. It is quite obvious without MY USA money YOUR ISRAEL could not have weapons to kill innocent people. THAT is why terrorists hate my country sir. Not because they "hate our freedoms" or whatever Bush said.
I'm for peace, friend. And if the roles were reversed today I would support the Jews 100%.
You see, that's the problem. This happens every time I have a discussion with a right-wing Israel supporter. You blame the other side over and again, and when I show you that your side is in fact the one causing the majority of the conflict, you retreat and say something general like "i want peace but we don't see eye to eye." No sir. That won't cut it. Your people lived side by side in peace with the Palestinians prior to WWII when they ruled their land, and look how you live now.
You don't need to send me anecdotes or pleas of mercy for your poor IDF soldiers. My co-worker was a former IDF soldier who wants peace. As was my professor. I don't hate the IDF's soldiers, but I do despise the men giving them orders. You must stop generalizing - no, not all IDF soldiers are angels ironically pulling triggers for peace. Yes, we all want peace. But the first step is to be critical of our country's actions, this is something I have yet to see you do of Israel.

US GENERAL KEITH DAYTON YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT HE HAS BEEN TRAINING FATAH Police for the past several years and THE PENTAGON HAS BEEN ARMING FATAH AS WELL.
And why shouldn't people sympathise with Palestine?
Israel needs to come to terms with its own war crimes, subjugation of Palestine's self-determination and its own history. Israel has become the most illegal and dangerous state in the world.
Its disgusting. Beyond belief.

Israel's trreatment of Palestine is contrived and indefensible.
