Reply #9: Do you want to get into a link war with me?

In all honesty, every act of violence against Israelis you find can be matched by a mirror act against Palestinians. In fact i'm pretty certain that I could find ten or twelve instances of Israeli on Palestinian violence to match each of yours about Palestinians targeting Israelis. Do you think there is absolute good vs. absolute evil, designated by Jew and Arab, respectively?

I just want to ask you though. Do you think that my opposition to the military actions taken by Israel means that I support the military actions taken by Hamas or Hezbollah? Do you think that I am on "their side" or whatever? This is not an either-or equation, friend. Murder is murder, and arguing over who deserves to die more is a sick side event that I'm ashamed to see growing to such proportions in America.

No, of course those people in your links din't deserve what happened to them. Absolutely not, and I in no way even came close to suggesting that. They have mirror images in Gaza and the West Bank, who also absolutely do not deserve what happens to them, either.

Israel, i.e., the political-military aspect of the country is a problem. One of many. Each nation and faction there seems to think that violence can cure violence. And forgive me if I don't want to pay for ANY side's misguided need for blood.
