Stephen Hawking's boycott hits Israel where it hurts: science

Do u know that average Palestinian lives much better than average Indian?

you know how much hate mail I got after my thread

Israel is here to stay for a long long time - InshaAllah

Knowing that I know about Palestine and Israel after visiting the region,

I think your response must be accompanied by a lots of caveats (in order to make it remotely viable).

1. Arab israelis have pretty high standard of living compared to an average Indian or Pakistani.
2. West Bank Palestinians though, do have very high literacy rate and health standards,
--------- must live with fear of losing their property.
--------- especially if their property is close to a Jewish settlement.
3. Gaza Palestinians are the worst of these 3 groups like way messed up compared to an average Indian.


if you have evidence that Indians live in fear every day for losing their property to powerful neighboring settlement, your argument as a general rule may not hold true.

100% of Gazans and 95% of West Bank Palestinians live under their own self rule. The remaining 5% of West Bankers are governed by Israel. If they build without permission then Israel intervenes. Same happens to the Jews as well. Palestinians prefer to live in zones governed by Israel.

not denying this part.

My post was related to the loss of WB Arab property to settlements.
And how so many settlers have this sub-human view of their next door neighbor Arabs.

I understand your plethora of feelings and glad that you support Palestinians cause.
But is it just because palestinians are same religion as yours??
Or is it because you genuinely feel Israel is wrong??

no sane human being of any religion or race can say Israel is right, a country that went of a bombing spree on civilian target as a revenge of three teen deaths.
