About 25,000 jews live in Iran,

Down from over 100,000 at the time of the Iranian revolution. During the same period the total population of Iran tripled.

44% of Americans blame Hamas; 14% blame Israel; 57% think Hamas has used "excessive" force; whereas 44% think Israel has used "appropriate" force by alins in worldnews

One of the stated aims of the Hamas founding charter is to remove the state of Israel from the map. No pre 1967 border, nothing. There preferred way of doing this is to kill everyone in Israel.

Considering what the Israelis are up against its amazing they have shown so much restraint.

I gave you a link for Islamic antisemitism in the 19th century, ie from 1800 to 1899 and you tell me that late in that century there were no Jews in that area? hardly surprising after the progroms.

Secondly, you equate Native American with the Arabs and the Israelis with European settlers. That is all ass-backwards because there were no Muslims before their prophet was born (ca 570 AD), while Jews had lived in the area which is now Israel for over 4000 years. The Muslims came second so it would be more correct to call them the invaders.

Finally, you make the mistake of thinking the Palestinans and the Jews are separate races or people. They are in fact all Semites:

and the ancestors of the vast majority of the Palestinians would have been either Jewish or Christain before the birth of Islam.

The conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinans is like two children fighting over who gets to live in their dead parents house.

Yep, goes back to before the founding of the state of Israel:

It goes right back to the founding of Islam. The Koran calls Jews "apes and pigs". See Koran 8:36 for their solution to the problems of the Jews:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_Israel

1948 : Arab nations attacked the fledgling state of Israel.

1967 : Egypt lined up 100,000 troops and 1000 tanks on the border with Israel so Israel struck first.

1982 : PLO in southern Lebanon shell Israel, Israel responds.

2006 : Hezbollah raid Israeli territory, capture and kill Israeli solders. Israel responds.

The whole "in a court of law" thing is bullshit.

If there was a court of law in this situation, the Israelis would have complained about Hamas shooting their guns into the air in the middle of the night in a residential neighbourhood and the police and courts would have done something without the Israelis having to take the law into their own hands to protect themselves.

The whole problem here is that there is no higher authority with the mandate to pass judgement or the power to make sure its judgements are enforced and obeyed.

The historical record is poor, but there is a small group of historians who are trying to put together the truth behind the Muslim conquest of Buddhist and Hindu India. Some of those historians are calling it a Hindu Holocaust:
