Well, I certainly don't want to punish innocent Israelis (I suppose their government is similar to ours in terms of their imperialistic-ness). I'd like to see a cease to the fighting. I'm really not sure who or what instigated the violence in the first place but it's gone on long enough. True, I should have thought out the Hamas being elected a bit more (a terrorist organization is not exactly helping anything). If there was any way to resolve this bloodshed, I'd be all for it (I'm sure 99% of people would be, too). Like Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
I do wonder why we care so much about the fighting going on between those two countries but ignore (for the most part) serious events happening in Africa.
What started the fighting was the fact that a bunch of Europeans came in and said, "We're taking your holy land and giving it to a different country with a different religion. Hope you dont mind." Then they gave a shitload of guns to the new nation they just created, which proceeded to fight and win seven wars with neighboring countries.
