Why does the US support the Israeli government, when its military occupies illegally in Palestinian territory and slaughters thousands of innocent women and children?

• I totally agree. It's to the point where if it takes a massive military approach by Israel, to smoke the scumbags, so be it. It may in the long run actually save lives on both sides. At the least it'll end this story that never ends, once and for all.

• Israel has the fourth largest military power in the world. Funded by the US. Why don\'t they just slaughter the Palestinians like we did the native Americans?

• Sunblynd, one of the major claims of this video is that Israel is in violation of UN Resolution 242 in that it continues to occupy Palestinian territory. Does it ever mention the fact that Israeli withdrawal was contingent on the Palestinians accepting Israel's right to exist and that the Palestinians would stop attacking Israel? This is something that they have never been willing to do. All the time that he was talking peace with Israel, Yassir Arafat kept a map on his office wall that showed Palestine as occupying all of the territory that is the nation of Israel.
  The video goes on to talk about how the Jews oppress the Palestinians. Were you aware that Israel built a whole bunch of really nice housing outside of one of the Palestinian refugee camp specifically for them? Were you further aware of the fact that the reason those building remain empty to this day is because the Palestinian leadership won't allow their people to move in?

• The reason the Palestinian leadership won’t let their people move in is because they want to keep their people oppressed to garner sympathy from the rest of the world for the “plight of the poor oppressed Palestinians.” Yes, they are oppressed, but they are oppressed by their own leaders who blame all of their problems on the fact that Israel exists rather than of the fact that they refuse to live in peace with Israel.

• Technically speaking, there is Palestinian teritorry. The Palestinian Authority has gained autonomy in several areas.
  
  Also, historically speaking, there used to be a lot of Palestianen territory untill Israel was created in 1948.

  Technically speaking there is no Palestine, no autonomous Palestine region nor peoples. If there was an actual united Palestinian Authority, why are there pitched battles between two factions?
  There is no Palestine, just areas that are allowed to be quasi administered by the local population and their appointed or otherwise politicians/ war lords and occupying powers. Who in their right mind would recognize a divided "territory or country" as such. That's the same as calling the USA an entire country during their civil war.
  Country or territory would be construed as a united area. This is not the case. I doubt they'd ever get their sh$t together to actually accomplish it unless at the barrel of a gun.
