your reply doesn't challenge his malicious, idiotic and drunken assertion that Israel is involved in ethnic cleansing. All you're doing is challenging the methods of resistance to this supposed ethnic cleansing.

And yet he repeats this lie on these boards over and over and over again - because he learned long ago that a lie, repeated ad infinitum, can still infect people's brains all the same.

That's what he wants to do here too. And I know you don't normally buy into these lies - that's why I'm just letting you know you got suckered this time round.

Like or loathe Israel the simple fact of the matter is: if it's left alone in peace, no-one will get hurt. Simple as that - at least to a straight decent mind, undamaged by years of abuse.

(BTW I wonder how many satisfied Israeli Arab citizens there are, including Muslims?)
