My sympathies are with the Palestinians.
The behaviour of Hamas is that of a desperate people struggling for survival against an uncaring invasive Israel.
As seen from the Arab viewpoint, until there is a glimmer of hope for a better future then outright aggressive defense is seen as the only option.
Israel's aggression will never bring about a peaceful solution. There are too many wrongs in the past that cannot be laid to rest without Israel giving ground in a big way. Something they show no sign of doing. They have to learn that military superiority is not everything when dealing with a people with little to live for.
In no way should this be translated to this country in a conflict between Moslems and Jews. Many Jews in this country are doing everything they can on behalf of the Palestinians.
The protests in this country should be supported but they must be directed against the country of Isreal and not against the Jewish religion by a lynch mob mentality that could be encouraged by the BNP.
What will Obama's response be?
How will it contrast with that of Bush?

The sheer hypocrisy of all this is terrifying. The Israelis have had 3000 rockets fired at them lately, killing indiscriminately, and, quite rightly they've had enough. They are acting incisively to clear these terrorists out and should be fully supported. The terrorists complain about no humaniterian aid, from who? us? They should turn for this to Iran and Syria who supply their rockets!!
When, if ever, does a terrorist become a freedom fighter?
