Have you ever heard the old saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
I wont condemn them, but I wont befriend them.
Why? Because I understand why they are doing it.
Every day, every bombing, some limp wristed fruit starts crying about "why are they doing it"... "whaaaats going oooonnn"?
Anyone with half a fucking clue knows why they are doing it.

I too understand why they do it. I assume, that in turn, you understand the Israeli response.
I have repeatedly stated that I support Israel's right to a homeland since the UN partition. I am a supporter of that right.
What I do not support is the stupidity of the leaders of both sides.
As I have repeatedly stated; I believe the tactics of both sides will not produce the desired results, but will exacerbate the hatred and will perpetuate the killing of both peoples.
I have reached the point that if there were to be the ability to vote on the matter, I would vote for the suspension of military and economic aid to Israel and economic aid to the Palestinian's.
If the Israli government wants to continue in using, what I believe to be tactics, that are more in line with revenge then they are designed to resolve the conflict, I prefer that they do it on their own, without our weapons and money.
The constant bickering I see on TV from the spokesman of both sides is similar to second graders arguing on a schoolground.
It is similar to the bickering that takes place on this board.
The lastest report I heard about the airstrikes, is 12 dead, 150 injured, and the Palestinians are reporting that the Hamas leader may still be alive. The military operation was designed to take out the Hamas leader. There is not yet proof that the operation was successful.
As for you 12clicks; you are a liar.
I am, and always have been, a supporter of Israel and their right to exist. It has reached the point that I do not support Israel's tactics (and not because I don't understand their reasoning, but because I do not think they will lead to and end to the violence), which does not mean that I am anti Israel.
