Let me get this straight, Dylan. All people who were born in the U.S. since 1948, 1973, 1991, whatever, are U.S. citizens. Why aren't the Palestinians citizens? It was difficult for the U.S. to abolish slavery and make all blacks full citizens. Why couldn't Israel. It could. You know it. But you turn a blind eye or excuse it by arguing their jihadists, radical Muslims, whatever.

Israel is NOT a democracy or even a Republic like the U.S. It is an ethnic group running an apartheid state. Everyone not in the U.S. or Israel sees that clear as day.

If Israel was a true democracy everyone would be equal. We don't have "special" road or checkpoints for blacks in this country. They get the same passports we give.

I'm not arguing what Israel should do or not do. But to argue Palestinians turned it into a prison when they were NEVER given Israeli citizenship for being born in the territory blots out quite a bit of history and rational analysis.

For most of my life I had been "played" by Israel. Buying into the thinking your wrote. When I saw them bomb all those residential buildings the scales came off my eyes and I see Israel clearer by the day.
