Israelis and Palestinians have become very hardened. Death is nothing more than another very prominent part of life.

You sure about this? Ever see the scenes on the news after Israelis die? Everybody still cries, and each funeral is as morose as the one before.


On a personal level......of course.....you see emotional outbursts on both sides of the border.

However, I don't think it takes much for an Israeli to kill a Palestinian, and we know it doesn't take any effort for a Palestinian to kill an Israeli. In that way, I think they have become inured to death.

Contrast that with the Palestinians, who revel in death, and celebrate after the death of one of their own, and fire guns in the air and lionize their dead.

Awww.....give it a rest.

You have not seen Palestinian mothers and fathers cry for their sons and daughters? I have. Palestinians are not animals......at least most of them are not.

There are cultural differences between Jews and Christians, and Muslims but the death of a friend, a brother or a mother hurts everyone in the same way.....no matter how much Allah be praised.
