I lived in Israel for a year and a half and have been exposed to those fireworks (and Scuds as well) and you don't know what you are talking about. Those sparklers pack a wallop.<BR/><BR/>They have been "walled in like animals" because they refuse to stop turning themselves into suicide bombs and to stop killing their neighbors. They have been continually offered two nation solutions and have refused all offerings, preferring instead to keep the dream alive of pushing all of the "jews into the sea." <BR/><BR/> I think that the people count statistic you raise is another specious canard - Israel's responses have been fairly well targeted to avoid collateral damage - read your history books about Syria's destruction of the town of Hama or Jordan's brutal destruction of the palestinians during Black September if you want to see real genocide.<BR/><BR/>And it sounds terrible but I must make the point that a defensive response to a terrorist act has a higher moral weight than terrorist violence. Still a very tragic situation.Blue Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516946085702606491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-25817733295724601532008-03-04T22:53:00.000-08:002008-03-04T22:53:00.000-08:00yeh the thatcher metaphor could prove to be truebu...yeh the thatcher metaphor could prove to be true<BR/>but your take on the palestinian situation doesn't take into account the refugees or the way they have been walled in like animals. Their "missles" are more like fireworks which exist to only give hope to the under trodden and the forgotten while isreals retaliation is still somewhere around 100 dead people (christians and muslims) per every dead jew.<BR/>100 to one...<BR/>So unfortunately with those kinds of numbers you should't wonder why isreal still doesn't have popular international support.. <BR/>pro peace<BR/>not war<BR/>beans not bombs!!!<BR/>signed the <BR/>unorthodox majority<BR/>who still believe in the wonderment of a secular worldUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202886094742098170noreply@blogger.com
