we are assisting live of the crushing of a very small territory where a one and a half million people have been besieged practicaly since the Israelis withdrew from Gaza. But now with F16 in the air, shelling from the sea and from land missiles and tanks most of which have been provided by the war machine of the United states who are in it for money and power (Dick Cheney and the rest of the bunch) just as they were in Irak, the Palestinians have nowhere to flee.How can all these people who are responsable, and it is not Hamas, look themselves in the face in the morning when they look in the mirror

Thanks for the site.

I believe information like this is necessary to help all of us develop a more objective view of what is happening.

As a once staunch Israel supporter, over the years I’ve been more and more disturbed by what has been happening to the Palestinians.

Hamas may well be firing rockets into Israel, people may well be having to seek refuge in shelters but this disproportionate response by Israel does nothing to improve the situation and only inflames the tensions and embeds further hatred.

This situation will not be ‘won’ by either side using the methods they currently employ.

Creating a virtual ghetto of dispossessed Palestinians will not result in a ‘just solution’. It’s not even a solution – just a stop-gap with nasty flash-back.

The British realised this behaviour didn’t work and they and the IRA have since come to an agreement (and the British were in Ireland from the 11th Century).

Israel and the Palestinians should both recognise what history teaches us because they will otherwise continue to live a grim reality.
