Forced out homes and villages where they had lived from time immemorial, houses and crops destroyed, women children and elderly arbitrarily murdered.  I can rember seeing Greek vestments on ebay that were listed as having come from a looted Palestinian Church.   The Israeli government's hands are no cleaner than any other Middle Eastern ruler.  But like the Saudi government, they are out "friend", so they are given a pass.
