Do you live there? How do you know? I have several Israeli friends and they all tell me of their horror stories in the army. They've seen atrocities on both sides and they admit to it readily. What is going on there is a cycle of violence that is very difficult to escape. It's like the Hill Billy feuds. The cycle of revenge goes on and on and gets worse and worse. We in the West of course equate suicide bombing as the more barbaric thing. But what about the asymmetrical responses by the Israelis where they go in a bulldoze Palestinian homes and arrest people who may be innocent, because hell, all Palestinians are terrorists right? Look, I'm having to dig deep to defend Palestinians. After 9/11, I have an aversion to all things and people who are associated with Islam. However, you aren't even making the pretense of being unbiased. So I feel the need to take the opposite stance to balance you out. How about saving some of your outrage and sympathy for Americans? Don't we deserve a little of our own love and money? I'm tired of helping everyone else, including the Israelis, while our country goes down the toilet.
