The Nazi's only brainwashed their Youth for 12 years, and after the War Germany was capable of reform and de-nazification. The Palestinians have been doing so for over 70 years and their society has become so radicalized and dysfuctional that it has made the prospect of future peace with Israel more remote than ever. Look at the website MEMRI TV to see how the Arab media celebrate Suicide bombers, and indocrinate a child of 3 years to consider Jews to be the sons of apes and pigs, and the numerous anti-semitic dramas and cartoons where the Jews are demonised. I would say that under the barrage of UN/EU funded Palestinian propaganda since Oslo that Peace with the Palestinians is more remote than ever.

What do you expect? As I have posted here before, with comments unwanted and therefore denigrated, what do you expect? As a matter of government policy, Israel engages in systematic ethnic cleansing. And yes, the phrase is accurate. So, what would one expect from children who see their parents humiliated and mistreated every day by the IDF? When their home is demolished because they are Palestinian? When their ancestral olive trees are uprooted, the family livelihood destroyed? When their brothers and sisters are shot by IDF soldiers for throwing stones at tanks or for merely being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Their rage is an utterly predictable human response against Israel's brutal military occupation, against a state so determined to make their parents' life miserable. Consider the question seriously, what do you expect? After all, the Palestinians are human beings. They are not a separate species. They too are citizens of our planet. Their hatred of Israel is not a genetic trait; it is the obvious and inevitable result of their life experience.

Standish - you are simply repeating the propaganda line that is spouted out by numerous pro-Palestinian websites such as ISM,PSC etc etc who twist the truth in order to prey on the gullible and naive. The people who access this website are usually better informed. You are dealing with a radicalized and dysfunctional population who are being brainwashed at infancy with the crudist and most basic forms of antisemitism - I suggest you consult MEMRI TV website to see what is being broadcast on Official PA TV and see what types of hatred and caricatures appear in their UN funded school textbooks - very reminiscent of the Nazi's.

The only homes that have been demolished were those of the immediate families of suicide bombers who wreaked mayhem. I suggest you also look up the memorial site at CNN and look at the faces and ages of the hundreds of victims of the Palestinian suicide killers not to mention the thousands of crippled and maimed and families affected by their sick blood lust that you seem to support.The Palestinians could have had a State many times over and were offered all of Gaza, East Jerusalem and 97% of the West Bank by Gaza - but that was not enough to placate the Terrorist Arafat since he desired nothing less than the liquidation of Israel. You talk about Olives trees and building demolished - I talk about lives devastated - it seems you and I have different values. Just look at the slaughter being wreaked today by the insurgents in Iraq on other Arabs and you will recognize the value system that you appear to be identifying with.
