Trust me, swords are better than plowshares. Plowshares mean work!!
I'm not surprised at the sewage flood. The infrastructure is going to heck in a handbasket. Until they give up their goal of the destruction of Israel, it will continue to do so. I don't think it will change until the second coming.
The Palestinians could fund their entire country from tourism dollars if they could get some sense. Things are so violent over there though that no one will go there anymore. They hate westerners so they lose out.
It is so obvious that the Palestinian leaders don't care for their own people. Remember when Arafat died, and there was a huge flap about who inherits the multiple millions he had? They have money. Maybe not a lot, but they could spend it on stuff like sewers for their people before they pick up an extra beach house for themselves. But they're not really after getting justice for their people. They're after the destruction of the state of Israel. That's why they invented the concept of a state of palestine, of a palestinian people, etc. Those things didn't exist before the arabs set out to destroy Israel. And Israel is actually nicer to Arabs than Arabs are to Arabs. Israeli Arabs (those who have Israeli citizenship) usually lead pretty good lives.

Actually i think many americans assume that the way things are here are the way things would be if only israel would stop being mean to the palestinians.

Yea, the democratic and free country of Israel is the problem not the Sharia loving theocratic terrorist state of Palestine that has sworn to drive Israel into the sea. All symptoms of modern liberalism as described by Evan Sayet.
Are you saying that this is a case of calling good, evil and evil, good?

Close. What I'm saying is that tis is a case of calling good, evil and then calling everyone else racist, homophobic, rightwing, religious nuts who even consider making a judgement on anything else.
