This isn't the place for this discussion. You don't pay much attention to the news, do you? Hundreds of people are killed in the Gaza strip on a regular basis. Bulldozers destroy their homes. Thousands are made homeless. And that's just recently. Terrorists, at the most, might kill the occasional handful of civilians. Is it wrong? Yes. But it is nowhere on the scale of the complete massacre the Israel forces commite regularly in Gaza. You wonder why the Palestinians hate the Israelis so much? I have great disgust for the Israeli government. On the news, they'll have some official saying "we're sorry for the hundreds of deaths of civilians today" and at the same time, the military would be bombing, shooting, bulldozing. "We want peace" while they murder hundreds of women and children. It is the Israelis, sir, that are the real terrorists in this conflict. It is clear that they are the greater evil.

"For the past week, the Gaza Strip city of Beit Hanoun has been made a ground zero by the Israeli army. By yesterday, more than 260 Palestinians lay dead and injured, with 53 fatalities - women, children and ambulance drivers among them."
"The Israeli army had vowed to end the firing of home-made rockets towards southern Israel. Many Palestinians disagree with the use of these makeshift rockets, but regard Israeli offensives as flagrantly disproportionate."
Disproportionate is a good word. I'm not saying Palestinians firing rockets is good. I'm saying the Israeli government does far, far worse and has done far worse than the Palestinians have ever done. Israel is guilty of war crimes and one day history will recognise it.
