"Israel set out to "teach the Palestinians a lesson". We saw what the hill boys were doing to Palestinian homes. They bombed Palestine precisely with the goal of killing 10x more civilians than Hamas killed. They murdered children and civilians as part of their strategy. The reason Israel is holding the West Bank is because it believes that that Land is their own - based on some ancient myths. The reason they do not give the Palestinians passports is because they are religious people and do not see Arab Muslims as being worthy. The religious neocons are in power and they are murderous people"
