CarolC,

War is horrible, but even the Palestinians ( as opposed to Gazans) have said that Hamas is responsible.

"There will be peace in the Middle East when the Israeli government loves Israeli children more than it loves subjugating other peoples and taking their land by conquest. "


Yet they do love their children( - and all humans who are not trying to kill them far) more than they want land or the subjugation of others. Please see the Charter of Hamas, and the constitution of Israel. Look at how many Moslims are in Israel, and how many Jews are permitted in the Arab Moslim nations. Israel has traded land for a chance a security that Hamas has denied them.

It is Hamas and the Gazans that elected them that chose to smuggle in rockets ( that could only be used to attack the Israeli civilian population) instead of smuggling in equal mass of food and medicines.


If I spend my money on musical instruments instead of food, can I fairly blame YOU when I am hungry?
