I know that ONE Israeli died from the terrible rocket barrage, while over 300 Gazans have died.

That one week view ignores the 6500+ rockets since 2005 when the Israelis gave Gaza autonomy and removed all it's people, the 700+ injuries and 10 dead over that time - not to mention the fear from the constant random rocket attacks. Israel was exceedingly patient for four years until last week when Hamas declared an end to the six month cease fire and openly declared war on Israel. In any reasonable persons mind Hamas has been the bad actor and is now getting the war they asked for. Those 300 Gazans you whine about are not random citizens but Hamas police or soldiers - a legitimate military target unlike Hamas's random terror campaign of civilian attacks.

"You just have to look at a map of the West Bank settlements to know what this is about."

That is at the heart of the problem. And one that won't be solved until the settlements are closed.

You are so full of shit. You say you want to wash your hands of the whole mess but what you really mean is that you want to kill israel by ending its relationship with the US.
You blame israel 100% for the current fighting and then you say you dont care about the pals, just the moral stain of israel spreading to us. So transparent as to be ludicrous...

Getting back to the markets, right now, I don't see a clear trend whether to go long or short. Do you? I think things are on hold until after the holidays.
