When you type something like this, does it at least cross your mind that palestinians are humans, too? For their disgrace, they were also born in a certain country.

did i say something about the Palestinians? read my statement again - no one should be targeted by harassment by simply being born in a certain country - that includes Israelis, Palestinians, or any other nationality

I could not agree with you more. I hope you do say the same when Israel does the collective punishment on the Gazans. When the Israeli Minister says, phrases like human animals. I can understand being harassed just for by being born in a particular part of the world. But you do need to realize that it has been nothing short of appalling crimes committed against Palestinians by the Israeli regime. Not now, not today, but for the best part of the whole century. In that context a flag does evoke more than a sense of connection, it invariably evokes the crimes that are committed under it. Especially every citizen has served in the militterry apparatus in some for.
