@RosePuckey you are writing at choosing an artificial starting point for the conflict and emphasizing some facts more than others. I could make a disingenuous recount of what happened slanted the other way easily enough. But it wouldn't be constructive. As a matter of fact, both Gaza and Israel have far right government more interested in inflicting harm to the other side than in setting up a lasting peace. But it doesn't have to stay that way forever. What we need is more people pushing for an

@RosePuckey actual, specific peace plan, and less people grandstanding about how much they are *on the good side* and how the *other side* are just evil. Try stopping the fight instead of whipping the participants into a frenzy ffs.
