Response to D'Souza

Israei "state sponsored terrorism"? Please! Israel's policy has long been to hold terrorists & those who harbor them responsible for their deeds. Shelter a terrorist, lose your home. Very easy to understand.

IDF shooting Palestinian children throwing stones? That's a contemptable media distortion. Rampaging Palestinian rioters usually numbering in the hundreds have used a variety of weapons to attack IDF personnel-usually 20-30. Stone throwing "children"are usually mixed in with others using Malotovs & assorted firearms. IDF uses rubber or real bullets to protect themselves & innocent others in life or death situations.

Might this be another example of the double standard being applied to Israel?
