    Maybe- (and I'm probably going to catch a lot of flak for this) but I'd also think these very same people would be real sensitive about committing similar atrocities themselves. Then I'd ask a Palestinian how they feel about Israeli entitlement.

    I can't say I'm on either side of that fence- but I do know right from wrong. Let me digress before I get off topic.

      That's a separate, though very valid issue. I also find it appalling to see how little many in the Israeli leadership lack the basic empathy to realize that what they're doing is no more right than what they suffered.

      That being said, a lot of Israeli have spoken up about this, and on this precise point. Western media is the one that presents the issue in a very one-sided way, because Israeli press is actually pretty free and open on the issue. I also think a lot of young Israeli are uncomfortable with the situation, though I wouldn't presume to talk for them.
