Those who argue that both sides in the conflict are equally to blame are copping out big time.
Time and time again the Zionists and the Israeli state have been the aggressor in the Middle East.
From the very first Zionists who arrived at the end of the 19th century they have sought to take land from the Palestinians and use force when and where necessary.The foundation of the Israeli state was founded on the "El Nakhba[the catastrophe ]" of the Palestinians who were driven out of their homes and cities at the point of a bayonet.
These refugees and their children have no right of return.

Since that time Israel has waged a long war against the Palestinian people and its near neighbours in Egypt, Syria the Lebanon and Jordan.

Israel has been backed to the hilt by the USA which has a huge responsibility for the state of the Middle East today.It has armed Israel with the latest weapons and technology and funds its economy.Without American support Israel would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.

The USA uses Israel as its terrifying guard dog in the region.Those pesky arabs have the oil which the USA regards as its own .Israel is used to keep these countries in order and their usually corrupt leaders in line.

Israel is used to pummel the Palestinians so that they "do not raise their heads".

The Zionists howl with rage when they hear criticism of Israel and its murderous policies.They have been taught to believe that Palestinian lives are worthless so that when an Israeli quarter tonne bomb pulverises a Hamas leader in his flat it matters not that innocent men ,women and children were slaughtered in the carnage.

Something similar happened today in the south of Lebanon when some 18 civilians fleeing the Israeli warplanes were incinerated in their two cars.

Reading George Bush's call for restraint today was grotesque,That butcher was responsible for Operation "Shock and Awe" which saw hundreds of cruise missiles and thousands of bombs targetted on on the people of Iraq.
