My point is that there is terrorism on both sides

That is true but one side commits so much more terrorism then the other that it isn't much of a point.

My issue is that we should not be so strongly supportive of the Israelis.

I am supportive of any country which is trying to defend itself against terrorism and a deliberate campaign of targeting mothers shopping and children on the way to school. If Israel were doing this to the Palesinians, I would be supporting the Palestinians. But in my view, nothing -- I repeat, nothing -- excuses or justifies terrorism against ordinary civilians going about their daily lives. No matter what has been done to a people, that is not an acceptable response. It is an attack against the very concept of civilization.
