I cannot help but feel that if these victims were 'someone else', or if Israel was 'someone else', the global response would have been completely different.>>>>>>>

Popcorn their is so much hate around and atrocities around the world
that it does happen to others and we rarely hear about it.
Religious Hate crimes are high not only in the middle east, but all around
the world and I am not speaking of crimes against Muslims.

After the US went into Iraq I remember all the heated arguments
on Pet Talk. So I have tried to stay away from controversial subjects.
It makes me sick the killing of the innocent no matter what side you are on.
But what can one do when terrorists use innocent human life
as a shield and they attack you? (I am not just talking about
what is happening currently between Israel and Lebanon)
Talks through the years have not worked and agreements
have been broken. Terrorists groups were suppose to be dismantled
per the UN and peace agreements,
and neither was done. Now these groups are a bigger threat.
(the major terrorists groups are smart and help the poor in their
region, otherwise they would not have been so readily tolerated.)
The middle east is so complex with generations of
hatred, I certainly do not have the answers.
