I'm sure that had Simcha Jacobovici been around 70 years ago, he could have gone far as a propaganda journalist, just so long as he changed his name..

Poo Bad. Either you are impressed by this kind of claptrap, in which case your gullibility precludes debating reality with you, or you are like minded, in which case you are sick.

Ban Ki Moon said what all decent people would say. There is no just side in this conflict. Just innocent people, mainly Palestinians but a few unlucky Israelis too, trapped in this attempt by Israel to see how far the international community will go to stop their incarceration of a whole country. Hamas do not supply the answer, but there again, we are not living under the conditions Israel impose on their neighbours, and have done since 1967. Given their circumstances, perhaps resorting to voting for Hamas is a bit like UK people voting for UKIP and other ultra right wing fascist parties on the basis of existing parties not supplying good government? We can't judge because we aren't there. When I was there, I could have sat and fucking wept, and that was a fairly quiet time...

The cost of the next election campaign in The UK is counted in money. In Israel it is counted in coffins of innocent people.
