""Israel is NOT attacking the Palestinian People: It is attacking military targets in Gaza, whose government, Hamas, has been attacking Israel's civilian population with rockets.""

From the BBCs World News coverage, it would seem they're growing very short soldiers in Palestine these days.

Funny how there aren't any adult military men on show. And those wounded women sure looked fierce and dangerous.

Four hundred dead in a couple of days, and it don't seem that there are many Hamas militants among 'em.

Still you can't make an omelette without breaking a few egs, can you BB?


Hamas have been carpet bombing Israel for eight years, and they might as well have been throwing snowballs.

There's no right or wrong side in this. They are both bloody mad, and I wonder if the so-called civilised world is going to sit back like it did over Rwanda, and Darfur, and The Congo, and Uganda, and Zimbabwe, and on and on and on.

Of course, they're none of them important, because they have no purchasing power, so we can't make a profit out of them, so why bother, right?

A concerted effort by all concerned would be needed, but both sides COULD be brought to heel, but that would deprive some pretty big corporations of the money they make supplying Israel with the means to smash their neighbours.

AND THAT WOULD NEVER DO!!

I just hope the NEW president has more integrity than his chiselling, crooked predecessor. I really do.
