Barbaric ???

I propose to you that you read the history books before you make such flagrantly flawed comments. You mention Palestinians attacking Israel with rocket attacks as being Barbaric and hurting a few innocent (???) Israelis, But do you not feel that the Israelis attacking, Invading and occupying Gaza for over 40 years, building a kind of Berlin wall 12 or so kilometeres inside Gaza and cutting Palestinians off from their jobs, temples and friends, from their sources of income, splitting families up, children cut off from their parents, all food and water and medical supplies cut off by the Jews, don't you feel that that is also Barbaric, I would say it was a thousand times more Barbaric than a few rockets the Palestinians throw at Israel. A people who treat others as bad as the Jews treat Arab nations cannot ever be described as innocent.
