Israel and the Jewish Community

How can it be that The Jews of all people see this as acceptable behaviour?

I would argue that protection of people on your land is a little different to actual persecution of Palestinians.

Why are America and Britain not going in to stop these atrocities against mankind?

America want maximum level of allies in the Middle East because it's land full of resources, oil being the primary and Israel has always provided that.
Also the Jewish lobby in the USA is pretty strong and it's difficult for any American government to do anything against Israel.

And more...

It's not so much Israel and the Jewish Community as simply Israel. Remember tens of thousands of the jewish community marched in Tel Aviv last week against their governments policy. I would also be wary of the argument that goes along the lines "how could the jews do this in the face of all they suffered".

fair enough you're right there
