> Iran helped Hezbollah bomb US citizens - hundreds died. First the US Embassy in Lebanon and then the US Marines Barracks who were on a UN mission to protect Christians during the Lebanon Civil War. Iran also sponsored and trained extremists in Iraq responsible for killing and maiming thousands of U.S. soldiers.

I really wanted to come back to this. Why is it that when we murder people in the middle-east, we are soldiers and citizens, but when middle-easterners kill us, they are terrorists?

When Palestinians defend their homes, they are terrorists, when Israelis kill Palestinians, they are the chosen people doing god's will. Don't you see some discord there?

As an American, I'm baffled by our support of Israel and criticism of Palestine. If the tables were turned, would Americans be terrorists for defending our homes, and for killing those who kill us in order to take our property?

Why is this any different? Why do we give them a free pass to destroy a nation, systematically remove them from their homes, take their passports (Palestinians must become Jordanian citizens in order to leave Occupied Palestine)?

If I make a fake book that claims to be 3,001 years, is it cool for me to go to Jerusalem and start claiming buildings as mine?
