Yep, it's awkward, I agree...But, the analogy is better than apples to oranges - At least we're dealing with apples.

Hey, whose history is REALLY understood. We all have eyes that see and we can all see what we see when we see those folks dancing over the slaughter of a few young religious students. The Palestinians are victims of themselves. It all depends on what the result of our deeds gets us. The Palestinians have sown to the wind and they are reaping a whirlwind. And, you know what? We all reap what we sow. We're all victims - victims of ourselves - both good and bad. We are what we be.

Life is not without heartaches and hurdles - Sorry. Life is trouble...period. We all need to get educated. If you saw my family name, I know you couldn't pronounce it - no one can. But, I don't demand that you know or understand me or my history in order for us to get along. Why are the Palestinians afforded more excuses than anyone else?
In my opinion, they are a perfect example of a failed people.
