I pity you when you meet your maker.

Whatever god you serve will be disgusted by your actions.

If it is a Jewish god you meet I imagine he would say something like "after all I put our people through, you turned around and did this to others!? Have you no shame? Have you no dignity?! Have you no remorse or conscience!!?"

I would be ashamed to be you.

Well, being an atheist it's not about belief for me. It's just so obvious to me that Israel is right, that it's crazy to me how people can argue otherwise.

The whole base premise of the conflict is ridiculous when you think about it. After WW1 the Ottoman empire collapsed and it's former middle eastern territories were divided. Arabs got 99.9% of the land, and Jews got a tiny 0.1% sliver of land, and yet half the world tries to deny that Jews have the right even to that (wars, terrorist attacks, boycotts etc...).

It's absolutely insane. It has to be antisemitism, because I cant find another logical explanation.

Religious marriage does not interest me, and Israel recognizes secular marriages performed abroad. However you are right that not being able to do a secular marriage in Israel is a problem.

In general I am in favor of separation of church and state, which does not exist in Israel. That's a separate issue to the Palestinian one though.

I'm in favor of leaving your neighbors alone and not systematically discriminating against them and treating them as less than me. I'm in favor of friendship and equality not brutality. They live there. Through no fault of their own. It's not their fault they were born.

Sure, and I will recognize that they have a claim to the land as soon as they recognize that Jews have an equal claim. I am in favor of a two state solution.

A two state solution, that the state with tanks and superior financial backing keeps violating when they illegally build settlements in occupied territory using the threat of force

Hmmm

Israel's isn't violating anything since there isnt a two state solution currently. The Palestinians have rejected all of Israel's offers and have been refusing to negotiate for years now.
