No, you asked why Israel should grant free entry to Palestinian terrorists. You didn’t specify entry to where & I thought you were referring to the Gaza (that is, the siege). So I have no idea what you’re really referring to. Denying Palestinians entry to Israel? I don’t get the issue.

I asked you how they would respond on being granted free entry to Israel. You replied by vilifying Israel and with an egregious ad hominem about my understanding. How do you think they would respond?

The wall between Israel and the West Bank has gaps like a Swiss cheese has holes, which means that WB Palestinians can and do enter Israel more or less freely, looking for work. But the last time civilians have been blown up and their deaths celebrated was in Gaza.
So those scary genocidal Arab hordes haven’t done much lately to earn your angst, have they?

One IS reminded that there were crowds of Israelis who gathered like sports fans on hilltops to watch their army blow up civilians in Gaza, and to celebrate the killing. We all saw the photos, and the videos, and read the news stories about them.

Hmmm. Let me think. Your attitude implies that all Gazans suffering under the illegal siege have actually blown up Israeli civilians and celebrated their deaths. Is that really so? No, not really. And as not all Gazans have committed acts of terror but all are being made to suffer for them–this is collective punishment. And that too is illegal under international law. The siege actually creates more Gazans who wish to blow up Israelis. But I’m sure you wouldn’t understand that.

What is your view of what would happen if we allowed free entry to people who up to now have blown up our civilians and celebrated their deaths?

Some of your comments were approved. The ones which weren’t violated my comment rules which explicitly exclude gross exaggerations & statements that are not supported by evidence or are clearly false. For example, stating that Arabs want to “murder every one of us” is unsupported, a lie, & racist. Read the comment rules, follow them, & yr comments will be published & responded to. You seem to see yrself as a propagandist on Israel’s behalf, which is not what the purpose of my comment threads is.
