Violence is violence, no matter who uses it.

So until people start working for peace (both Palestinians and Israelis) there will be more violence. Tit-for-tat.

A Palestinian who kills a Jew has committed the same atrocity as a Jew who kills a Palestinian.

Same crime. Neither side is justified.


Now, if all you can do is promote ONE side of the conflict, then you are a hypocrite, because both sides are doing the same thing, and you condemn the one but justify the other.

So we all need to learn to use Peace as our Guiding Light, if you want to be able to see through the darkness.


Peace.

Nice sentiment, but Hamas has a motto that they love death more than the Jews love life. It's Hamas's desire to kill as many Jews as possible, and "drive them into the sea".
If Hamas laid down their weapons, there would be peace. If Israel surrendered theirs, they'd be dead.

It's a sad sad situation.

This is not justification, but causation.

Who in their right mind denies this?

I can think of alot of such past like acts that did not resut i such things. Vaustio is often related to those who committ the acts i their basic beleiefs.If what you say is true then Israel is certainyl jsutified in invadig and doig whatever they have to.

The difference....Israel focuses it's attacks on sites where rockets have been launched from, attacking Hamas "soldiers". Civilian casualties are an unfortunate side effect when the bad guys hide behind women and children.

Hamas targets civilians on buses, and lack the courage to fight IDF forces.
