Israel is mainly made up of European Jews escaping the horrors of WW2. I have a Ethiopean Muslim friend, isn't the world a more accesable place now? So the theory of how "Israel" always belonged to Jews is flawed as different religions/cultures co exsisted before the word Israel was formed on your Grandpa's lips.
I have no idea what your getting at here. Some argue that Israel has roots going way back. I have always argued that they have the same right to the land as I do to US soil. But your implication that Israel only goes back two generations is extremely flawed. Blow the dust off your ancient middle eastern history book, and start reading.

Are you supposed to ground your chidren for a life time while living under Israeli occupation? Children throw rocks, graffiti on walls, drink alcohol etc. When you are walking down the street or playing in a school yard you have no control over freedom fighters and Israeli troop actions.
Sometimes children happen to be their and it is sad when they get caught in the cross fire. The vast majority of the time however, the palestenians start it first, so they get to choose who will be caught in the cross fire.
When Palestenians encourage their 8, 9, 10 , 11, etc year old kids to go out and throw rocks at Israeli troops while the parents lob rocks and shoot over the kids heads, that is just asking for their kids to be killed. I do feel sorry for the kids because they are just kids and they dont know better. But the parents get everything they deserve when their children get shot in these scenarios.
your always going to bring up the exception. the scene like what happened on monday. But that is far from saying it is the rule or policy of Israel to kill children. However, it has become a rule of palestenians to target israeli civilians with suicide bombings.
Here are some stats: (please note that I did not do this, but I did confirm the numbers. These stats were pulled together by Blogger known as Tim)

**80% of Israelis killed were non-combatants; compare with 19% of Palestinians. Doing the math, this is 560 dead Israeli noncombatants, versus 361 Palestinian noncombatants.
**55% of Palestinians killed were full/partial combatants or violent protestors; only about 20% of Israelis killed were full/partial combatants or violent protestors.
**"Palestinians are directly responsible for the deaths of at least 253 of their own number -- more than one out of every eight Palestinians killed."
**"Women and girls account for 31 percent of all Israelis killed in the conflict, and almost 40 percent of the Israeli noncombatants killed by Palestinians. Palestinian fatalities, in contrast, have been consistently and overwhelmingly (over 95 percent) male."
**"Palestinians have killed at least 174 noncombatant Israelis aged 45 and over, while Israelis have killed 65 Palestinian noncombatants in the same age bracket. The ratio is 2.7 to 1."
**A large number of Palestinians were killed under "unknown" circumstances: 23% or 437. I count these neither as combatants nor non-combatants. The reader may make either assumption and go over my previous numbers, adding these bodies in according to their personal prejudices.
Source: An Engineered Tragedy: Statistical Analysis of Casualties in the Palestinian - Israeli ConflictLike I said, I wont deny that innocent bystanders have been killed. But as a rule, the Israelis do not target them and those stats prove it.
