Listen to them and understand why they're pissed off - Palastinian siege, American military bases in Holy Land (Saudi Arabia), war in Afghanistan/Iraq, yadda yadda. Stopping these things are in the interest of everybody, removing the American bases, and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will save the American taxpayers billions and billions of dollars, and ending support for Israel to let them sort their conflict out for themselves, etc.

The point is, military operations where 45% of the casualities are women and children will have a permanently negative effect regardless of Israel's objectives, so no matter who did what, or who struck first, this military operation should have been avoided no matter what.

The worst thing is that the children in places like Gaza will be scarred for life, and the hatred of Israel and most likely America too, will take generations to fade and that won't begin until we stop pissing them off, some reasons for them being pissed off listed above.

Most news stations broadcast Osama bin Laden's videos from a week after September 11th 2001 where he laid out the reasons why he wasn't surprised that America was attacked, the Palestinian conflict being one of the major reasons. I actually struggle to believe that anyone genuinely believes that the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine will do anything but incite more hatred..

Was just reading that and about to post it, Israel may have killed 200 Hamash fighters, but they just created 20,000 more. Sad...

200 new Martyrs

Interesting, I learned it's original meaning was to bear witness in or for legal trial only in early days such witnesses were often tortured (some to death) and later for religous beliefs.
