The MSM has stopped telling the approx. number of dead - it being too obscene [in their opinion]. I believe it is well over 5-600 now and counting. The world seems powerless or unconcerned to really try to pressure Israel to stop this slaughter of mostly innocents - let alone the longterm occupation. That Israel had a long-term and strong [parts secret] relationship with aparteid South Africa should come as no surprise, as the systems are similar.
the US signed Nuclear Proliferation Treaties with the Soviet Union does that mean the US endorsed Russias Gulags and the slaughter of millions of innocents (by Stalin) in Siberia? I doubt that....
Palestine will eventually come to the negotiating table, if they don't, they've spent to much time listening middle east agendas with other than peace priorities. I suspect Israel will go to the wall and won't back down, any more than the US would under the same circumstances.
If the Palestinians choose to take on those with a bigger stick (not to mention one of their benefactors), so be it. I suspect Israel could give one shit about what the world thinks when it comes to how they defend their borders and citizens. Despite what they say for the MSM (and they're master manipulators of the world media).
For those of us (believers and non-believers alike) on the sidelines, let's ponder: which of the two belligerents has the biggest and most powerful GOD, Israel or Palestine? Sounds like something out of the old testament doesn't it? It appears the Jews got soft during their time away from their homeland, they're soft no longer....and the conflict winner is:
None of us, certainly! (I pick the gods)
The gods create an illusion of victory every time, sigh... while both sides either dig graves or burn the dead... all the while Palestinians oil rich middle-east cousins wring their hands, profess solidarity, then hide their checkbook. By this time Gaza should be a Mega resort, ala Las Vegas style.... oops that's that new place in Dubai, I forgot -- forgive me!
In closing, Hamass is leading the Palestinans right over the cliff, some god they have!
