12. The fact that every response by Israel is so disproportionate - far more civilians are killed in

their reprisals than are killed in terrorist attacks - suggests an Old Testament revenge motive is actually in play. No one is talking about opening borders until a comprehensive agreement is reached, which must include a two-state solution. Hitler was the one with the military power. Comparing Hamas to Hitler is absurd. The Palestinians are weak, and terrorism is their only recourse when Israel refuses to abide by international agreements, and no country is willing to enforce those agreements. So Netanyahu encourages thousands more settlers to build on Palestinian land. Arabs are expelled from their homes in Jerusalem. You can't treat people like this and expect them to roll over and submit to inhuman conditions. Israel has confined the Palestinians in a ghetto without rights. Sound familiar? Netanyahu is more like Hitler than Hamas is. Remember the Nazi slogan about lebensraum? What do you think the settlements represent?
