60% of Palestinian children anemic

You should have italicized "fringe elements of the government"

I'm not sure you really understand what's going on over there, if you believe this. Some of my extended family lives there, and I had an emplyer for a couple of years that commutes to and from there.

They spin it a little differently than you.

I wouldn't suggest the Israeli government is innocent, what "government" is? But to suggest that they all would "get along" or could even work things out at all if we minded our own business is a bit naive.

It isn't naive at all. In fact, everything points to a lasting peace if Israel would stop taking the land of the Palestinians, building illegal settlements, withdrawing from an illegal occupation, destroying their livelihood, imprisoning them on their own land and shutting off their electricity and ruining their chances of obtaining potable water, and committing what amounts to genocide. That won't happen, because it's against the interests of those sheering the American taxpayers.

Who's funding/training/soliciting the suicide bombers again? And the daily rocket fusillades into the area? I must have missed that in your post. The idea that the "palestinians" aren't utter pawns of the arabs (just as the israeli's are utter pawns of the U S) is silly. It's an oil chess match, about to come to mate in the next three or four years.

I don't believe the Israelis are blameless in this, or that they aren't cruel or savagely heartless in their revenge tactics either. They just aren't solely responsible for what's happening as you suggest.

The Palestinians, like the Native Americans, are guilty of breathing. Israel is doing today what the United States did to the native population. What you mentioned about suicide bombers and rocket attacks doesn't differ from Native American raids on white settlers. Israel is about as innocent as the United States when the latter met resistance.

You can say Israel has a right to Palestine because it is mightier, like the US was mightier when dealing with the Indians, but it forfeits the defense of being a tiny, helpless, besieged nation.

It's hardly as innocent as geopolitical maneuvering.
