Nope, but it doesn't NOT apply to them, either.

I think the Peruvian thing is just stupid of the Israelis to allow and smart
of the peruvians to scam on, but I do draw a distinction between
relocating for money and suicide bombing for it. Apparently, you do
not.

There has been testimony from Palestinian parents of successful
suicide bombers who stated that they were proud of their dead little
assassin progeny and that they hoped that some of their siblings would
join them.

As frequently? It is wrong for either side to do it in MY book, but you
apparently condemn one and cheerlead the other.

It ain't gonna happen. They'd prefer to kill them and publicly exhibit
their dead bodies.

Actually, ummm, no. I do not think that you can show me where entire
families in a home, including women and children, have been
systematically gunned down by IDF forces.
I support both sides living in their own separate states in peace, but I do
not see the Palestinian militants as willing to accept any solution that
includes Israeli survival.

I'm not the terrible human being; the jihadists and their cheerleaders
are the morally bankrupt ones, but they're too self-righteously blind to
see same.

I have seen selective condemnation here that indicates a great deal of
antisemitism, including contorted and convoluted apologetics for 70+
Palestinian suicide bombings of Israelis in the past year. Why the
absence of condemnation for that continues drumbeat of atrocity, hunh?
I thought so. To the antisemites here, they deserve to die, and why?
Just because they're Jews.
