But what do you expect in a multi-generational war? hate breeds hate, war breeds war.

I'm reminded of the recent 'pre-emptive strike' that used white phosphorus munitions to supposedly 'mark targets'

(see http://www.haaretz.com/news/israel-admits-using-phosphorus-bombs-during-war-in-lebanon-1.203078

here's an article about the recent conflict:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/16/phosphorus-bombs-video-israel-gaza

also from the article:

'At the centre of the controversy is the way white phosphorus air burst shells have been used in heavily built-up urban areas, with an overwhelmingly civilian population.'

& this isn't asking for more trouble?

I'm not anti-jew or anti-zionist..but here's a parable:

Let's say I was promised a house a few hundred years back (nevermind there's nothing to back up my claim), got into an arguement was forced to leave the property & never return. The house is then occupied by someone else & they & their descendants stay there for a few more generations. My descendants find that house again & with the help of some overpowered buddies force the existing tenats into a tiny room out back, arm us to the teeth & cut them off from the rest of the house.

I have some neighbors that don't care either way but don't want anyone on their damn lawn & threaten to shoot anyone that crosses their property. The old tenants get a little pissed thinking.."Who the hell do these guys think they are? This is our property, we put all the work into fixing it up, do they think they can push us around & get away with this?" & they fight try to take back what they put all their hard work into & get pushed into an even smaller space with the new owners telling them "you're lucky we let you stay here at all..after all we were promised this house & you have no right to be here anyway..."

& round & round it goes..

Right or wrong this my take on the situation...but over the years I've seen a lot more nasty, vindictive bullyish behaviour coming out of Israel..& they don't seem to want to share with anyone.
