So Palestinians don't have to behave to any moral standards?

The suicide bombers among them don't, so never fear there.

Are you saying the lack of peace over the course of Israel's history is entirely Israel's fault? Have the Arab governments come time and again to the peace table and sought to end the conflict, but Israel has somehow thought it is in its best interest to stay in a perpetual state of war?

You guys rail about how Gaza is a "prison" and it's all Israel's doing. Do you think it might have something to do with the fact that if the borders were open, suicide bombers would be killing Israeli school children? And what about the Gaza border with Egypt? Why is that border closed too?

Bowser likes to talk about the military disparity, Israel being so powerful and the Palestinians so weak. The stated goal of Israel's enemies is its utter destruction. If Arab nations lose a war they will lose maybe some land and a lot of pride. If Israel loses it will mean the total destruction of their nation. A bit of an incentive to remain stronger than their enemies, no?

I think you need to think through some of your arguments a little better.
