Well, when the minority imports weapons to strike out at your border cities, and the minority regularly hops on the 420 bus to Al Quds and blows it up...I'm guessing it's Isralei's right and duty to protect their own borders.
You act as if this is a lone-wolf nation stealing territories and treating the poor, pitiful palestinians like dogs. You do realize the UN mandated Israel their own nation, right? Why do you think the Plaestinians don't want the same treatment? Why, when the ongoing offer of statehood arises, does Hamas do everything in their power to prove the palestinians don't deserve it? Perhaps because the other muslim interests in the region are the ones telling us what the Palestinians want. It isn't the Plaestinians going out and seeking weapons. It's the aggressor nations providing the weapons to the Hamas. Big difference.

Cry me a river. Under this administration, Americans are disrespected on a daily basis, and it's getting worse.

So the North Korean state is a terrorist organization, but not Iran, which is the majority stockholder in Hamas Securities Inc.? What's the distinction between the two...?
