It most certainly does, does Judaism respect that?
Why does Kahane says "I want the Arabs out of Israel. Out, out out!"?

It certainly was, that was the time Israel occupied Falasteen,
the question really is who was there prior to 1948?
Is that not driving the people of land out of their homes?

>	Does Islam believe in an eye for an eye?
Islam certainly believes an eye for an eye and all Muslims
are obliged to obey. BUT what about Judaism, does it not
believe in it, can they murder 21 people for throwing
stones. An eye for an eye to me means that they if
someone throws stone at you, you may throw stones at him,
but bullets ... Nah!

I agree that praying is not fighting and if there are
people praying they are not fighting. But these are the
people who drove those Falasteenis out of there home
and throwing stones is the demonstration of frustrations
these people have. Still not deserving bullets.
