Question: Does an Israeli citizen have a right to live more then a Palestinian?

How do you weigh the value of one life more then the other? If Israel is attacked from Gaza, and since the Palestinian people didn't stop they attack, don't they deserve to die? Or are innocent civilians innocent no matter their ethnic background?

in the Middle East, including Israel or not, are American Christians, most of whom are right wing. (not all, but most are)

Ted Cruz and those like him are the LAST people I want involved in any of this.

In fact many so called democrats who are christian are probably also equally unfit to make any decision about this.

I find the Israeli government under Netanyahu to be repulsive, but at the same time I dont trust anybody who defaults to giving total legitimacy to one side of this over the other.
