  Sadly they can and have done.
  
  Quite a number of genocide slaughtering has gone on since WW2, so we don't learn anything; we do not stop it because the UN don't speak out against it, nor physically stop it.

  Israel itself is the product of the activities of the Jewish terrorist organisations Irgun and Haganah. Those who think Israelis are the only victims of genocide ought to read about the Deir Yassin massacre of 9 April 1948. A quote from a survivor: "Prior to the massacre, we were on good terms with the Jews in Givat Shaul. We shared food, celebrated together, paid condolences to one another, babysat for each other. There was peace here before the Zionists came and destroyed everything."

  Being a war baby I grew up with a sympathy to the plight of the Jewish people wanting a homeland of their own after the persecution they received at the hands of the Nazis.
  
  I now fail to understand how Israelis now seem to be so intolerant to their neighbours the Palestinians who also want their own homeland. I know that the two countries/governments are as bad as each other but it seems such a shame they do not at least try to get on and work towards a peaceful solution.

  If it was left to the indigenous people of Israel and Palestine there wouldn't be such problems, farmers for example have long rubbed along together. The main problems seem to come from people who emigrate to Israel and see it as just a jewish homeland which has had the effect of alienating palestinians which has lead to some becoming radicalised. Nett result is a disaster with no end in sight.
