Oh really?
Well unlike you I have seen both sides and hers how it adds up.
Israel: Receives Billions of $ a year from the USA mainly to act out it's interest in the region. Many Israelis enjoy a good standard of living with access to such modern resources like the internet (yourself for example) and can guarantee relative stability in their life.
Palestine in particular Gaza: Receives sanctions because it's democratically elected leadership are classed as terrorists all because of their stance on Israel. Hamas government isn't involved in terrorist attacks. Basically people lower down its pecking order are terrorists but the people trying to govern Gaza aren't.
As mentioned Gaza one of the most densely as well as poor regions on earth is crippled by economic sanctions. Many families go hungry, many people don't have access to medical resources. Unlike Israel where modern technology is common im guessing there is roughly 3 computers for the whole of Gaza city (exaggeration obviously).
Israel then tries to justify a war brought on by itself. Due to the fact Gaza's economy is non existent the only option left is for them to fight.
What do you think Israel has been planning all these months with it's blockades? Do you think it's a coincidence this is happening just as an election is coming up in your country? Also a coincidence that the attacks come as one of the most war hungry US administrations in history is about to end? Do you honestly think the Israeli government hasn't been planning this political stunt and attack for months all for personnel gain? These plans were drawn up way before the rockets started coming over the border.
If you can honestly answer no to all those questions then maybe you should pay more attention at your nice modern Israeli school because just to clarify again, most people in Gaza don't have to opportunity to learn and your wasting it.
Another pointer as well how many civilians have died in Israel? Four is it? And now Gaza, probably well over 500 now I can't find the official figures. Most of those by the way around 80% to 85% have been innocent civilians. Nice aiming Israel.
Israel's basic objective is to remove Hamas, so what? A government which gets along with Israel can be in place? In other words a government which will bend to Israel's will so they can further their influence in the region? It worked in Egypt and Saudi Arabia so why not knock another country of the list?
In other words don't even tell me to look at the other side of the picture, I have and this is what I see.
Your quite happy to make your little Hamas jokes arnt you whilst sitting behind your computer? You couldn't care less for the little child who's starving right now, who lives in a house with no running water who just lost his whole family to one of your military strikes on "terrorists".
And you know what? He's going to grow up to hate your country's guts. And when he's older he to is going to pick up a rifle and want to kill. Do I blame that child?
Not one bit. Full circle again.
This is the reality buddy. About time you bloody well accepted it.
