@TheWhiteRabbit: You mean Hamas, whose charter calls for the death of every Jewish person in the world? But I'm sure, just a few more rockets and the Israelis will just give up and go away. It's been such a great strategy until now.
If it's "genocide," isn't it kind of stupid for the Palestinians to stay there when they could leave? I'm sure you would be delighted to let any of them who wanted to emigrate into your neighborhood. Unless it isn't really "genocide" and you're just being a drama queen.
How is it not comparable when China moves large numbers of Han Chinese people into Tibet with the goal of obliterating Tibetan culture? But hey, who cares, because no Jooz are involved.

@ShoesOfWanderingITMFA: Really the Jew card. Not every Jewish person supports the atrocities of Israeli government.
The government don't even consider Palestinians human and not only does Netanyahu call for the death of only Palestinians but every arab. Their IDF soldiers kill innocent children everyday at their "checkpoints" and laugh about it. Their actions created Hamas. Also on the point of them leaving their homes and land. Need I remind you there was no Israel before the british government carved it out of Palestine. I'd be happy for them to emigrate here into my neighbourhood if it meant saving lives. However they stay and fight for their country. For once research and open eyes to what is happening. You can say I'm being a drama queen all you want, but it doesn't change the truth.
Also you keep mentioning the Chinese. There's a difference between culture and lives. Also does not doing something about one injustice mean you cannot do something about another. The only reason Israel is being internationally protected is because of her allies, it provides a foothold in the middle east for Britain and America. So they turn a blind eye, and force the international community to do so as well.
This conflict is long and complex and cannot be reduced to a few comments. I base my views on facts that I have researched and Israeli government is not the hero of this story.
However they are my views, I would recommend you do some research before you form yours on opinion.
