This is all not fair. We admit holocausts against jews and commit other ones against lebanese and palestinians.. when is the killing of just anyone going to stop?

Not fair? Who is we?

To my knowledge only two nations have accepted their guilt for past atrocities ... the US and Germany. Each odf us are better people today because of understanding our past guilt. France, Holland, Austria, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Spain, Russia .. all of these have atrocities in their histories they do not accept.

As for Jordan and Palestine ... I share youtr feelings their but not your comoarisons. It is enough to value the lives of the people who have died and children who suffer without diminishing the vast difference between efforts to exterminate, enslave, or otherwise destroy entire peoples.

Perhaps you are unaware of the Arab and Muslim terror against Jewsd that has gone on for 1400 years? The blood libel? Dhimmitude? the massacres at Medina and Hebron?

Two wrongs do not make a right. The plight of the Palestinians is all too real and the great majority of Jews know that. What is needed is an equla effort at peace from the Arab side. Their are answers to the Israeli conflict, but thiose answers can only be had once tghe Arab side is wiling to treat us as equals.
