Is this racism, or are there genuine concerns (they took er jerbs?)

Reminds me of the old banana argument for intelligent design. It fits well in your hand, and is nicely curved for ease of consumption.

Imagine being so against peace that you refuse to negotiate unless the other party drops their demands for a permanent ceasefire.

This means that Israel reserves the right to attack Palestinians whenever they feel like.

Ever? Or in recent times?

There were hundreds of years of peace before the US was even conceived.

Reminder that the US invaded Iraq 20 years ago on false pretenses. That whole region is unstable because of US meddling.
