> just like was done in germany and japan during ww2. The difference is that the USA did not expropriate and colonise the majority of their territory and reduce them to servile status, which is what is happening in the West Bank. Instead it ensured a viable homeland and democracy. Neither of which are happening in the West Bank. The long term trajectory there is towards reduction of Palestinians to second class status, the inverse of what happened in Japan and Germany. > those terrorists need to be killed with extreme prejudice, which will include a lot of collateral damage - until that happens, there will be no peace for anyone. I agree that Hamas are disgusting and should be stopped. Equally, Israeli colonisation needs to be stopped and until that happens, there will be no peace for anyone.
