.... or maybe they just saw their children murdered whilst trying to take refuge in a UN school ?
You and I may become suicide bombers under such circumstances - and I for one am an atheist.
A whole new generation of men with nothing to lose is being born as we speak. A whole new generation of men who are today face to face with the horror of what one man/people is capable of perpetrating upon another man/people when they are in a position of power with no accountability - ironically, in much the same way that Jews were during WW2.
Seems to me that what is occuring is that (land issues aside) Israel are attempting to break the spirit of the people of Gaza - and what Hamas is doing, in a pitiful and emasculated kind of way, is saying that their spirit will not be broken.
I don't know the solution to the problem - but I do know that were it not for the US, and were it any other nation on Earth committing the crimes against humanity that Israel are, then our Governments would be calling for military intervention to end the violence (massacre). The UK has sent in the troops on much (much) more flimsy a legitimation.
Does this make me a pro-Arab shill ? I really don't care.
