You are of course entitled to your opinion and I respect it. It doesn't mean I agree with it but that is what freedom of speech is all about.

And our government was elected by people who are predominantly Christian. I think the two concepts need to be kept separate.

There is a clear difference between the war in Gaza and what Stalin and Hitler did to people.Of course it has nothing to do with the value of different etnic groups.The sheer difference in numbers is one thing, but also the background and ideology represented is not comperable.Do you honestly propose that the Israely government has a hidden agenda for the "final solution" of all palestines?

Kristoffer,

Thank you for sharing your views with us.

The 100 to one death ratio in Gaza is the the statistic that I find impossible to comprehend. By any scale or any proportion that is totally unforgivable. I have no respect for a race of people who can do such a thing.

I'm sorry if my views offend you but they are my considered views and I will express them.

Wich is your right. But when stating that you would not respect a race of people that would do such a thing, there really aren't many races of people left to respect.Since the beginning of human kind such terrible acts has been commited.What makes the jews so espesially evil in your oppinion?

I do believe that many factions within Israel consider Palestinian lives to be worth less than Israeli lives. When I was young, I had occasion to meet Rabbi Meier Kahane, and that, frankly, was his belief. His view, sadly, has gained much sway in the region, and especially in the West Bank settlements.

Kristoffer,

The topic is freedom of speech and I don't want to go off topic.

But to answer you, two wrongs do not make a right.

I am sure you are right.But these views are shared by many different etnic groups towards eachother.
Palestinien children learn from an early age to hate jews and western culture.Leaders of Hamas actually compare jews to monkeys and pigs.Why is it that these views seem to get a bigger acceptance in under developed countries?
