I dunno, radar makes sense more often than UG or tw does... but on this one, I say he's half-way talking out of his ass.

I don't side with either the israelis or the palestinians in general. I think theyre both in the wrong. I think both sides need to reign in their more extreme elements, and I think this fight has been going on so long that it doesnt matter who started it, not that it can impartially be judged who did start it. The israelis should absolutely be treating the palestinians better, but... the palestinians should absolutely be treating the israelis better. The palestinians should absolutely not be killing israelis, but... the israelis should absolutely not be killing palestinians.

Theyre both absolutely in the wrong, and will both continue to absolutely be wrong until the cycle of violence is broken, by one side or by both.

Ibram, I don't like what Israel has been forced to do to defend themselves and neither do they. What is the proper response in your mind for those who don't believe you have a right to exist in the first place, have stated their desire to murder everyone in your country and drive them into the sea and to erase your country from the map? What is the proper response for those who blow up women and children in crowded shopping malls, bus stops, etc.? What is the proper response against people who blow you up during peace talks or murder your Olympic athletes?
