It makes me sad. Its people like you, radar, who cause so much suffering, both in israel/palestine and elsewhere in the world. You people who believe so absolutely in who's right and who's wrong that you dont see that, regardless of who's right and who's wrong, people are suffering and dying, children are getting shot or maimed or blown up, wives are losing husbands, mothers losing daughters, sons losing fathers. People like you, radar, cause that suffering, people like you on both sides of the conflict.
If you are completely confident that you or your 'side' is absolutely in the right, that is possibly the surest sign that you are not.

Yes, I am sure Israel is right because they are the defenders, and those who want to seem them destroyed are the attackers. My conviction has absolutely no connection to the veracity of my opinion.
This does not mean I don't feel pity and sadness for those who have lost loved ones on both sides. I find it horrible when anyone dies on either side of this conflict. I'm disgusted by it. It's a perfect example of why I believe religion is stupid. I think to myself, "When will this madness end?"
The answer to this question is simple. It will end when the so-called Palestinian people learn to care more about their children than they do about killing Jews. It will end as soon as the so-called Palestinian people want it to end. Israel will always use brutal force in their defense. History has proven thousands of times that when Israel chooses not to attack, they continue to be attacked so the fate of everyone on both sides is in the hands of the attackers...
(the so-called Palestinians)
If they stop attacking Israel and electing terrorists as their leaders, Israel will stop retaliating with even harsher force and the longer they can go without murdering Jews, the more relaxed security will be and the better the conditions will get.
