"This happened in waters outside of Israeli territory, but we have the right to defend ourselves."
Defend themselves from what?! The nerve of that self-serving SOB!

Originally posted by spruce112358You say "too bad" that Palestinians are forced to accept Israeli sovereignty -- is it also "too bad" that the Palestinians can't vote? What national election can they vote in? They can't vote in Israel and there is no Palestinian state -- so where do their voices get heard? You can't seriously believe that denying people the right to vote is OK?
[b]That's an arbitrary line in the sand. The Jews have been driven from almost every land they've lived in. To differentiate between what was done before the late 1940s and what was done during the late 1940s makes no sense. In any case, the UN voted to authorize the creation of the state of Israel. How does that square with Israel being so illegitimate . To quote from Unforgiven: We "...ain't like that no more."

The "Palestinians" who are Israeli citizens can and do vote. The Palestinians in the territories should have their own state and vote in their own elections.
