Quick! Bury it before Reddit realizes the Palestinians aren't as cuddly as they're portrayed in the media!
I don't understand your point here. Are you trying to say that because Palestinians sometimes do despicable things that Israel abdicates any and all responsibility to behave in an appropriate manner towards them?
This is a bit like posting a story about a white cab driver being beaten to death by two black men and using it to defend the Jim Crow laws.
That is to say, stupid.
NO! That's exactly NOT what I'm saying!
All I'm saying is that this is a complicated situation, whereas some people I met on reddit seem to think it's rather simple (i.e. the Palestinians are a bunch of loving care-bares being oppressed for no reason by the mean dark-hearted Jews)

In the same manner that the Jim Crow laws were complicated?

I concede that a great deal of the criticism of Israel here on Reddit is tarnished by antisemitism, but if you think that you're underscoring "the complexity of the situation" by pointing out that Palestinians commit crimes, your arrow is missing its target. Everyone here knows about the suicide bombings that kill innocent Israelis, the rockets (makeshift and amateur though they may have been) that were lobbed from Gaza onto Southern Israel, and so on.
We do not continue to criticize Israel because we are unaware that Palestinians have done terrible things.
We continue to criticize Israel because Israel is a developed, western democracy, which sees itself as the equal of other developed, western democracies, and yet which engages in systematic violent oppression of an occupied people.
It's not about the Palestinians, see. It's about the Israelis. They should know better. They apparently don't.

I'll assume you're talking about the leadership and not the people, and then I'll ask - better than what? Do you have a suggestion that hasn't been tried?
How do you accept a leadership that for 60 years swears to execute every last Israeli (from Amin al-Husayni to Haniya)? How do you co-exist? What do you think is a question of knowledge here?
ynet.co.il?
more of the same Israeli propaganda brought to you by sharon's private journal
So you're saying this didn't happen?
lolz lolz... of course not, this is antoher fairy tale Israel invents every once in a while to make the pals look evil as well
So, if this is indeed true, would you agree those two Palestinian are racist scum that should rot in prison for the rest of their lives?
they're the oppressed and the occupied... tough one. So i'd say we'll just let them go and write minus 2 in the neverending list of free and still walking the streets Israeli criminals.
