View on the recent Gaza/Israel stikes

[Aliantha]

My very personal opinion is that both sides are out of line and even though the Jewish nation might have a valid claim to the land, obviously someone else thinks they don't.

Thousands of years of fighting over it haven't managed to change a thing.

I don't think it's working for them. They all need to find a better answer, unfortunately, I don't believe either side really wants to when it's all said and done. I think this war has become a way of life and will never end. Debating the issue is pointless because words mean nothing compared to the number of lives lost over long held bitterness and hatred.

My point however was that if Israel can say, 'We were here first, so it's ours', then there are many other nations who have the same claim over land which has been taken from them and yet I don't see too many other countries jumping to their defense. Even my own country could have the same issue but we're not blowing each other up, even though we don't share the same religious beliefs. Not by a long shot.
