The people of Gaza chose their leaders and their leaders are sworn to the destruction of Israel, therefore, all people of Gaza are fair targets. If A=B and B=C then A=C, simple math.
So much for innocent bystanders. If you think not then legitimiize the daily pounding of Israeli civilians by Palestinian Qassam rockets. A simple solution might be to not send a barrage of rockets onto your neighbors homes. The media pities the poor Palestinians but then they are taught to hate Jews and Israel from their first lesson in school. Not exactly a good prospect for peace.
You know what’s funny? The demonstrators in London. The damn British carved out the Middle East when they as imperialists ruled over it a hundred years ago. They created all those lines on the map that we stupidly took as righteous only to find that there was no logic or human emotions attached. Most of us had no clue Iraq was really three distinct provinces not counting the myriad tribal territories. The Kurds in the north the Sunni’s in the middle and the Shiites to the south. The British promised Jews a homeland smack dab in the middle of Islam. Well, what would one expect? The crusades taught us they weren’t going to accept anything other than Islam. Meanwhile Britain finds itself resembling Cairo more than London. So in 2009 we live in a global society only it really isn’t that global. I mean, if a bunch of Chinese or even Americans wanted to live in downtown Tokyo I doubt they’d be welcome. What is really globalized? America Europe and a few other locales and that’s about it. Sure there are people mixed-in everywhere but in small minorities. But in many parts of the world strangers are not welcome. The Middle East being one. If you aren’t Islamic you have no say. In fact you’re less than human. If the world is to be financially global then it must be politically global. Jews must be allowed in Mecca as sure as Saudi’s are allowed in London and in New York. Japanese as allowed in Beijing as sure as Americans are allowed in Tokyo. Until such time we must persevere in our current state. Palestinians were allowed to be in Israel and commerce between the two was conducted but certain factions created the enmity which now drastically divides the two. These factions must be removed in order for normal relations to develop. Those who talk peace must insure peace. Egypt and France cannot talk peace unless they can guarrantee it and they can’t! All they can guarrantee is more rockets pounding civilian Israeli targets.
