See at the end of the day - it really does not matter what - or who I am. The question is Israel, and in my opinion their entirely disproportionate response - to rocket attacks from Gaza. Shalom.

Is it just me, or aren't they both guilty? Canaan should be the most respected and preserved land on earth for the vast majority of the world's population. I've been to Bethlehem and it's an absolute shithole (worse than Glasgow :lol: ). Just strikes me as paradoxical that the so-called Holy Land has been caught up in a war for over half a century. Humans eh? Not the brightest.

ionnsaigh ------ Do you actually read your posts or do you just say the first thing that comes into your head (disproportionate response to rocket attacks from Gaza) does that mean that Israel has to fight back with the same force ,if that was the case then we would still be fighting the last world war with no winners .Salaam.

Best answer I've seen in a long time. All the better for being succinct.

imho ... it's a humanitarian disaster. I can't think of any religion that preaches hate. I can only think that politicians of whatever persuassion can & will use religion as a means to an end ... by radicalising, fanaticising & bastardising.

Horse's post made the most sense to me. This isn't a football match or a Superbowl ... so stop cheerleading & exercise some basic compassion, humanity and opinion as an individual, & just ignore the political spin merchants (whatever side they claim to represent).

Aportioning blame never did (and never will) solve anything.

The holy land has been caught up in a war since the crusades ,not just because of land borders ,but because of religion .The Palestinians hate the Israeli's as simple as that ,they could be at opposite ends of the world and the Palestinians would still attack the Israeli's .Just to clarify things i am not a jew,palestinian ,extremist ,racist or any sort of polititian ,just an ordinary wee guy born and bred in Glasgow ,who thinks the Israeli's have had a raw deal for centuries . I just wonder if there would be as much outrage and demonstrations ,like the ones in London if the Palestinians were attacking tye Israeli's . I think not.
