jag, there's surely enough blame on both sides. Pointing fingers and seeking revenge will never solve anything.

Firstly, there have been more Palestinian civilian deaths and israelii, so don't try that "legit targets bullshit". Secondly, why are Palestinian suicide bombers targeting civilians.
Try reading a little book called The Vietcong/minh Insurrection Manual for Underdeveloped Countries. Written one General No Nguyen Giap, Commander in Chief of the North Vietnamese army.
TO get 300 odd pages into one post, ill simplify a bit. They don't have good firepower, they don't have advanced technology, what they do have is unlimited anger, and people. You those assets. The NVA (north Vietnamese army) lost over 1 millions troops, over 3 million civilians died in the process of defeating not only the Americans but the French colonists that came before them, and the Japanese army during WW2.
How? But not giving up, you harass, assassinate and terrify them enough, they will give up. It works, the Palestinians are doing the same thing. Its the only tactic they *can* you, their country has been invaded, they wish to have their own state.
Instead of even vaguely attempting a peace process Sharon has deliberately set out to cause as much violence as possible, and then set utterly impossible conditions on a peace process. There is no real functioning palastinian police force anymore, and what is left is being shot at by the Israeli army - how the hell are they meant to do anything. Its easy to say there are no good guys in war, and both sides have blood, much blood on their hands, but it is Israel, primarily Israel, that is causing bloodshed and every Isreali citizen that dies can be blamed on Sharon.
Mainstream extremeism as we are seeing in Palastine is caused by desperation, remove that desperation and give palastine a functioning goverment and it would be posible to banish extremeism to where it belongs, the fringes.
and for the record, i don't remember anyhtign about calling for revenge.
and that pic....yea....fuck.

Didn't September 11 and its aftermath teach you anything?

The irony! What it tought me is that if you tell the world to go fuck itself and turn your back, you get a knife in it. And if isreal thinks it can bash the palastinians into submission, they should look at history, and see how every attempt to crush the will of a desperate populace has backfired.
