There are bad Israelis.  There are bad Palestinians....there are even bad Americans.  One person with an opinion does not mean that all of the Israelis agree.  Most do not.  The Israelis I know are all moral people.  They will fight for their country (mostly), but do not want to harm people.  Some of these people are my cousins.  I know them quite well.  The child of one cousin is directly involved in the war.  These kids are no different than american soldiers....except they are fighting 50 miles from home, not 10000 miles....[/quote]

I think there are many people on both sides of the conflict who are reasonable. But, there are many on each side who are extreme. The extremists on the Palestinian side tend to get most of the attention while the extremists on the Israeli side are always brushed off as marginal players. I think it is very apparent that the extremists in Israel are far from marginal and, in fact, were it not for their strength, the current conflict would not be as brutal. I believe that Americans need to come to the realization that while there are many Israelis who share their values and are worthy of our close relationship, there are many who are not. Those who are not shouldn't be given one hundred percent support.
