The following link may provide some answers:
http://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/content/Israeli-palestinian-conflict-101 How can this conflict be resolved when one side - Israel wants it all their way and as long as the US and its allies continue to support Israel - Israel can happily continue to set the rules for the Palestinians - while the world allows it. Telling us that Israel is defending its "security" is like Mr Scott Morrison telling us the same about our border "security." Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 17 July 2014 10:43:08 AM

Come off it love.
You should be glad to see that those who choose to be the aggressor are getting their ass kicked. This piece proves you are a frivolous twit, with no idea of justice. I wonder why, with your resume, I am not surprised. Any thinking person should be disgusted when the powerful in a country chose to "waste" a few of it's citizens to promote their control.

Dear Hasbeen,
The powerful in that area? I assume that you're referring to Israel - because they can no longer claim victim status - being the most organised and militarily powerful, supported financially by the West. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 17 July 2014 11:43:53 AM

Foxy my sweet, I think you'll find I said country.
It is highly unlikely that those rockets would be aimed at Israel, if they were running Gaza. I can't imagine how Israel can be so restrained. If the Muslims ever win one of those wars, the ethnic cleansing they would undertake would be really epic. Posted by Hasbeen, Thursday, 17 July 2014 11:56:21 AM

The media has deliberately misled public opinion in the past.
Many years ago, the evening news showed a young boy cowering with his father behind a barrel. Saying that they were being shot at by Israeli soldiers, the film goes to black and the voice over says that the child was killed.
Very emotive stuff, except that it had all been staged.
The next claim was of Israeli fighter jets were targeting ambulances, the film even showed a hole in the roof of the ambulance saying that this was one of the ambulances shot by a rocket. Apart from a hole in the roof, the ambulance was intact. Again highly emotive material.
Yet again the reader/listener is being led up the garden path. Hamas was using the ambulances to fire their own rockets into Israel.
So are we being tricked, lied to and deceived? All over again.
