Making friends and building bridges--yep, that's the Israel we all know and love!
The preceding was brought to you by the Israeli military, sadistically ambitious and deranged politicians and fundamentalist religious idiots everywhere.
I wonder, do the Israelis recoil in horror when they see a father carrying the severely burned body of his daughter into a poorly equipped hospital after one of their missiles slammed into her house? Do they fee ill when they realize that the hospital is poorly equipped because their blockades do not even allow for the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid? How for the love of god do you justify this kind of disproportionate use of force?
Of even greater concern should be the fact that the Israelis have created a new generation of suicide bomber whose rage was previously internalized. But with the senseless, violent deaths of mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, formerly non-violent victims have metamorphosed into "terrorist bombers" overnight.
Until religion is exposed as a fundamentally flawed and wildly hypocritical belief structure, these mindless killing sprees will continue on both sides of the Jew/Muslim & Christian/Muslim divide. It's a testament to the inherent weaknesses in human reason and intellect that seemingly intelligent people believe in omnipotent/omniscient deities who espouse peace and charity, yet they often command their followers to kill each over a few hundred square miles of otherwise arid, unproductive land.
