  Intelligent humans who also possess the trait of human compassion, who are capable of thinking outside of religious boundaries, and who acknowledge the fact that all humans are of equal value, must condemn the war crimes & human rights abuses of the Israeli government against Palestinians over the past 50 years.

  Whoever condemns the terrorism of the Palestinian organizations must at the same time condemn the terrorism of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
  
  — Yeshayahu Leibowitz

  Yeshayahu Leibowitz defined Palestinian terrorist attacks abroad against Israelis were: Terrorism against terrorism.

  Both Israeli and US leaders must be criminally prosecuted for committing and aiding and abetting these crimes.

  There's no good definition that defines Terrorism so that it includes what they do to us, but doesn't include what we do to them, which is usually much worse.

  Israel can do just as much war crime as the U.S. allows it to do. If the U.S. were to withdraw participation in Israel's crimes it'd have to stop.

  The balance of terror & violence is overwhelmingly against the Palestinians by Israelis.
