When will Israelis admit to the countless atrocities comitted against their Palestinian neighbours?
as early as 1946 when zionists went on a rampage of attacking Palestinian villages, bulldozing their homes and driving thousands into exile in fear of their lives. Even as late as 2008 Israel bombed imprisoned citizens of Gaza killing over 1400. Is this the action of a civilized nation ? Can anyone on here defend their actions? If I were an Israeli citizen I would be ashamed of my history . I make no apology of showing this link again

Your facts are wrong.Most Palestinian Arabs left of their own accord.You did not tell about massacres of Jews by Arabs.

When people are ignorant of history they are in no position to be ashamed of it.
That is the best spin on a situation where pro-Israelis lie about it so shamelessly.
Attempting to excuse terrorism and war crimes is particularly hypocritical and revolting.

When the Palestinians start acting like "neighbors" instead of murderous terrorists, THEN we can worry about how poorly they have it. Until then, they bring whatever they suffer upon themselves.

I don't think anyone at all has a problem admitting that.
It's simply of no relevance.
As someone living in a European country which is the 5th largest weapon manufacturer in the world, I know ALL countries and people, you included, commit atrocities all the time. Have you checked your own atrocities at www.slaveryfootprint.org ?
The issue is, and to which Israelis have to defend themselves all the time, is your and other's obsession with this issue. You have no heart for the poor people of Syria, the people hung in Iran, beheaded in Saudi Arabia, no feeling whatsoever for the millions slaughtered in Sudan, in Congo, as we speak...
You forever hammer on the same tiny nail, which is of no importance whatsoever in the large order of things.
I commit atrocities all the time... big deal. We all do.
Today's freedom fighter is tomorrow's dictator. Since we all have to place a bet on which will work best in the general scheme of things, I stand by Israel, any time, any moment, any which way.

I guess we can agree on one thing. I do recommend anyone interested to read the allegations made in your link and THEN use google to explore the allegations yourself.
It is full of false information.
I just checked into a few e.g.,
"king david massacre," not quite. Their goal was not harm anyone but to destroy documents. And they called and warned them to evacuate the building so no one would get hurt (not once but twice). But, they were laughed off the phone by the British who refused to evacuate the building. They also warned the neighbors and called the local paper so people would not be there when the bomb went off. It was also the official military hq at the time. It was terrible. I am against it. And the Israeli govt condemned it and forcibly disarmed and disbanded the group that was responsible. But, it is not in the same category as Arab massacres of others, designed to harm as many civilians as possible.
"quana massacre" not quite.
Evidence Mounts that Kana "Massacre" Was a Fake

Sabrilla and shatilla massacre: yep. But, not Israel. Lebanese Christians killed Muslims in retribution for the Muslim ethnic cleansing of Christians. Terrible. But, not Israel.
DEIR YASSIN - startling evidence
Hazem Nusseibeh, editor of the Palestine Broadcasting Service's in 1948, tells the BBC how a press report was compiled, falsely claiming that atrocities had occurred at Deir Yassin. Click here for the BBC video
In this interview with the BBC he admits that in 1948 he was instructed by Hussein Khalidi, a prominent Palestinian Arab leader, to fabricate claims of atrocities at Deir Yassin in order to encourage Arab regimes to invade the expected Jewish state. He made this damming admission in explaining why the Arabs failed in the 1948 war. He said "this was our biggest mistake", because Palestinians fled in terror and left the country in huge numbers after hearing the atrocity claims. He said, "We must make the most of this. So we wrote a press release stating that at Deir Yassin children were murdered, pregnant women were raped, all sorts of atrocities" "There was no rape. But Khalidi said, We have to say this, so the Arab armies will come to liberate Palestine from the Jews."

Wow. I just tried a fair bit of research on something your link calls the "ERETZ CHECKPOINT MASSACRE:
17 July 1994, Palestinian sources reported that the occupation forces had committed Sunday morning a disgusting massacre against Palestinian workers at Eretz checkpoint. Eyewitnesses and Israeli sources reported that 11 Palestinians have been shot dead and 200 injured."
But, using google, I can't find any such thing, at least not recognizably. I do find that on that date there was massive rioting by palestinian Arabs and that a handful died after being shot by Palestinian Authority police and perhaps Israeli police shooting in self defense after the mob attacked.
It was also the site of an arab suicide bombing attack shortly before this.
'I always wanted to be first woman martyr' http://www.iol.co.za/news/world/i-always-wanted-to...
Another seven people, including at least two Palestinians, were injured in the blast at the Erez crossing.
The bomber also died in the attack, which has been claimed by two Palestinian militant groups http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3395177.stm
The woman had just entered the Israeli side of the border when she told Israeli security officials she needed medical attention, according to the sources. While Israeli officials were checking her for weapons, she burst into tears and detonated her explosives. http://articles.cnn.com/2004-01-14/world/israel.bl...
17 July In the worst outbreak of violence since the Palestinian self-rule began in Gaza, Israeli troops and Palestinian police exchanged fire during a riot at Erez crossing point by thousands of Palestinians unable to get to their jobs in Israel. Two Palestinian labourers were killed and 90 others were injured, including 25 Palestinian policemen, during the four-hour rioting, in which Palestinians set a gas station on fire and torched buses on a parking lot.
