Your analogy is flawed. If the Polish people had laid down their weapons and been good little people, would the Germans have left? No.
If the Palestinians stop acting like animals and blowing up Israeli civilians, will the Israeli's go home? Yes.
A closer analogy is this:
Your child is 10 years old and wants to stay up until midnight every night. You want him to go to bed at 8p, but in the spirit of compromise, you tell him that if he gets straight A's, he can go to bed at 10p.
Instead of getting straight A's, he proceeds to hit you, kick you, spit on you, scream at you and generally throw a large hissy fit.
Now you get the belt, whip his ass, AND make him go to bed at 8p.
Is your child mistreated and abused or is he simply receiving the punishment he deserves?
Also...if he tells you he thinks you're abusing him, does it make it true?
