"I'm sure you believe that, ""If the arabs put down their weapons today there would be no more violence,"" but the fact of the matter is that Arabs did not start the six day war, Arabs did not expel Israelis who had lived their entire lives in Jerusalem, Arabs do not expand illegal settlements, Arabs do not bulldoze Israeli houses, Arabs do not limit food imports into Israel, Arabs didn't use violence to suppress political speech such as flying a Palestinian flag, and Arabs are not instigating this conflict. The idea that ""Israel didn't fight back,"" while they purposefully starved Palestinian civilians is patently absurd. You're living in the center of human rights abuses and an apartheid state: educate yourself before you support bombing whole neighborhoods of human beings. If you want to know what Palestinian life would become if they were to disarm, look no further than North America's Lakota tribe. Without international intervention, the Palestinians face the same fate. E: some folks are having trouble with the first link, here's a second source."
