Dear Danille,

I'm not sure seeing two sides of an issue instead of the single one you do allows the charge of “Every issue is happily so simplistic to you.” to be sustained by any rational assessment, but then I'm equally unsure that rationality plays much of a part in this issue.

You wrote; “The reason deaths don't result is that the Israelis have had to build bomb shelters.“

It is good that they are able to do this. Unfortunately blanket bans on the importing of cement into Gaza (because the IDF claim it could be used as an offensive weapon, go figure) has not allowed the Palestinian population the means to do the same.

As to repetition I completely agree. I find myself often cutting and pasting from earlier posts of mine. Yet it is probably preferable to just posting a link. The other reason is that so little has changed. Very depressing really.
