There are, however, 2 sides to this story..
Horseshit.
Three sides.
The palestinians side
The Israli side
and the Truth.
...and I think some of us are ignoring one of those sides
Yup. Time to focus on the TRUTH.
TRUTH:: Neither the palestinians or the Israli's can be trusted to bring this situation to a negotiated settlement. The killing will continue, and the final result will be one side or the other will go 'too far' with the enraged extermination of one side or the other being the 'ultimate solution'. This is NOT an acceptable outcome.
Time to get the fediddlein UN in there. Pronto. Lets stop dickkin around with politification, pontification, 'whooo ho!' and "attaboy, kill those stinkin son's a squeakes!! They deserve it!!"
Lets get the UN in there! lets cut off funding to isreal till they accept a UN brokered peace, a palestinian state and a permanant UN presence and responsibilty for security in the region.
not one more dime to israel till the UN is brought in!
