I can only anticipate the amount of downvotes I will get for this, but if all countries treated their "enemies" the way Israel treats Palestinians, the world would be a better place.
* During WWII, allied forces systematically carpet bombed cities and civilians (not to mention two nuclear bombs). Israel uses pinpoint precision, and sends its own soldiers into harm's way to reduce Palestinian civilian casualties as much as possible.
* During France's war in Algeria, the French would indiscriminately bomb cafes, with no regard for civilian casualties.
* In Russia's war in Chechnya, they would systematically destroy villages and indiscriminately kill.
Imagine, Israel lets its “enemies” cross its borders, work, and cross back with that money. If the roles were reversed, and Hamas or any other Arab government were in charge, Israel would not last a night. And the U.S. would not do much about it either, like the way they did nothing during the 6 day war.
It takes a very removed Palestinian to realize that their Arab neighbors are their real enemies, and Israel their friend. But alas, indoctrination, intimidation (Hamas killing Fatah, the both killing Palestinians), and propaganda on government run Arab news networks keep the populous hostage.
