Re: Gaza/ Israel
All Jews in Israel can and do disagree with their government policies .That is the beauty of a democracy .there is freedom of expression and freedom of the press.
British Jews can if they want anyone can disapprove of anything from the UK.
Its not wise - if you are a Palestinian -to disagree with the Hamas or Fatah governments .
certainly not while you are living in those areas as you are at best beaten up until you change your mind at worse find yourself being thrown off a rooftop.

Re: Gaza/ Israel
Here's a rhetorical question for anyone .What do you think Hamas would do if the positions were reversed ?
If they and not the Israelis had the upper hand.
do you think they would allow kids to throw rocks at them or young girls to slap their troops around the face ?
would they give the Israeli citizens equal rights, education a seat in parliament ?

Re: Gaza/ Israel
My take on this is maybe over simplified - but...Israel are surrounded by countries who would love to wipe them from the face of the earth.
Palestine demonstrably does not want peace and is governed by an Islamic terrorist organisation.
Israel is in no position to fanny around. They have to take a very hard stance in the area imo and make it known they will take no nonsense.

But it works both ways ... in ensuring their own survival. in their self-defence, Israel have become pretty aggressive themselves, sometimes to the degree of a superior force quashing it's opposition through military might rather than diplomacy and so can no longer be seen as an underdog or a victim. They have as much blood on their hands as their enemies do now.
And despite protestations of denial they have stolen land and become a law unto themselves ... thus making them as bad or good, depending on your point of view as the enemies they claim hate them.
