Obama said—

For Israelis, it has meant living with the fear that their children could get blown up on a bus or by rockets fired at their homes, as well as the pain of knowing that other children in the region are taught to hate them. For Palestinians, it has meant suffering the humiliation of occupation, and never living in a nation of their own.

One side is getting killed and the other side is humiliated? Mr. Obama, this is not an equal comparison.

Moreover, Gaza and the West Bank are not occupied. Israel left years ago. Mr. Obama, wake up.

Never living in a nation of their own? Mr. Obama, did you just say that there never was a Palestinian nation?? Then how and when are they occupied? I guess Kurds, Native Americans, Southerners, Baptists, Mongolians, and hundreds of other minorities never living in a nation of their own is somehow different.

The problem is that Arabs, Persians, and Palestinians keep attacking Israel and won’t stop. They lost 6 wars and want to recoup their losses. Mr. Obama, tell the Palestinians to stop violence and accept Israel as a neighbor.
