It would be good to think that the violence from both sides could stop if men of good will could come to the fore.....but with Zionism a racist, violent and expansionary creed it ain't gonna happen.

Israel has been invading ,threatening and humiliating its neighbours for so long I doubt that things can change in the forseeable future.

It has also stained its reputation by its savage attacks on the Palestinian people whether they are in Gaza,the illegally occupied West Bank or in refugee camps.
This week it has emerged that gangs of Israeli youngsters have been assaulting Palestinian teenagers and taxi drivers in Jerusalem in the most random of ways and these attacks have been encouraged by senior figures from their religious community [see Haaretz for the horrible details ].

And to top it all off the leader of Israel stands accused of being a petty corrupt crook [ he is already a war criminal for the attack on the civilian population of Lebanon ].
