Thank You for a totally unbiased report on the GAZA situation.

Ron, a great experience with a predetermined outcome. Try to use more informed sources and references when making such wide-sweeping claims about an entire generation of people. Read any of Israel's on-line papers, and see if your encounter with one ideological group holds up: www.haaretz.com for a left wing critique. www.jpost.com for a Conservative critique. www.ynetnews.com for a SMH equivalent.

Also, how do you make such claims with no comment on Hamas' charter:
For example: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory)." The full version is found all over the web.

What about Hamas' use of its children: Amnesty International: "Palestinian armed groups have repeatedly shown total disregard for the most fundamental human rights, notably the right to life, by deliberately targeting Israeli civilians and by using Palestinian children in armed attacks."

You had a powerful experience, but may the situation is not as simple as a single ideological lens.
