Quote:I once had a random online conversation with a young Israeli girl in which she referred to Palestinians as dogs. I asked her about that, she told me point blank it's how her family and friends think of them, and always have.

 

Don't tell me both sides aren't taught to hate from a very early age.

The King David Hotel Bombings was considered terrorist attacks. Israelis perfected car bombs....if that's the correct way to say that. Setting off a bomb then waiting for rescuers before setting off a second bomb was a tactic used by future prime ministers and other leaders of Israel.

Absolutely both sides have skeletons in their closets and taught to hate. Even recent building on land claimed by the Palestinians is keeping the area unstable.

Sadly, if a child sees his family killed by a bomb...whether a car bomb or an Israeli fighter jet, it doesn't take much to cop an attitude.
