    Does that force come from a people who’ve been deprived of everything, forced into a system of apartheid, robbed of their freedom and routinely bullied, tortured and killed for half a century?

    That seems to be an important factor to just leave out of the equation.

      If Israel puts down there guns there would be no Israel.
