Israel-Palestine

I found this interesting article in the news because it talks about the Palestinian-Israeli issue that has been going on for many years. My opinion according to the theme of the report is that people so easily forget that Palestinians were throw out of their homes to make way for the State of Israel. Most of the Palestinians that were kick out have been refugees since 1948. Israel has broken the trust of the International Community by settling on the occupied territories, starting businesses there and profiting from those lands. Also they get Palestinian farm land that has been farmed for generations to become environmental preserves or military zone. Israel has kept the Palestinians as refugees and on the edge of poverty always needing rescue. They have been warn, the UNSC has tried resolutions that the US has not voted on or rejected.
It is time that the US take a much harder "tough love" approach with Israel, because you do not stand next to a friend while they are doing some crime, unless you want to considered yourself as an accomplice to the crime
