Every time there is a conflict in the ME it's like watching two assholes in a bar fight. You know it will never become clear who started it, or who is "right"- and you know they'll take anyone down who intervenes, so you just have to stand back and hope they knock each other out without doing too much damage to anything or anyone else.

I don't think there are any good guys. Let them rot in their mutual hatred.

Who exactly is a "good guy" in affairs between nations?

I haven't seen that video, but I have seen that graphic. It is ridiculous propaganda.

I will not get drawn into an interminable discussion about the Israeli-Palestinian situation. I don't post my opinion here, I post news articles hoping to inform people at least a little tiny bit. I don't see much evidence that you have read these articles. Dismay and sadness is expressed more than hatred. It is a fairly small minority of people who are causing the real problems. That is all I will say about it.
