Sadly agree, Steve Shaw.
Sad for the loss of civilian life, but my immediate thoughts at the news were that Israel had brought it upon themselves. Their govts have treated Palestinians and their "human rights" like shite for so many years and now the chickens have come home to roost.
Sad too that the Aust'n PM and other pollies are vociferously supporting Israel, but then that's not entirely unexpected as criticizing that particular country tends to bring its own load of criticism and retribution :(
But as Aussie Journalist, Caitlin Johnstone, has pointed out, Palestinians are now a population without anything to lose, and it follows that "desperate people ....." etc etc.

Vale, Chance of Peace in the Middle East.
