>Now compare this to Palestine's land, which was aggressed from them in the 1967 6-days war. Show me how Israel helped those people. Show me how the Isreali troops were welcomed by the residents. 6 days wasn't near enough time for the PEOPLE to suffer and become near animals. But in the years since it looks like Israel has helped them along that road, to where a party like "Hamas" could be elected.

That, and a lot of the rest, is addressed in an article in our local weekly here. Penned by one Steve Rosenthal, who IMO knows what he's talking about: http://www.portfolioweekly.com/Pages/InfoPage.php/iID/1949

It's actually an answer to a letter previously published in the same magazine, which is maybe possible to find in the archives of their website. I've read it in printed form, and to me it sounded pretty much the party line aka talking points stuff.
