> am scared for Israel as well as the neighboring arabs. I can see the momentum continuing for an absolute showdown. In 5 -10 years the entire mideast could end in a mushroom cloud with tens of millions of deaths and my dream of being buried in Israel along with it<
Don't think you'll have to wait 5-10 years. My best bet is a nuclear confrontation within the next two years with the distinct possibility of that mushroom cloud heading for Europe. But hey! You Yanks don't have to worry - you're way too far away from the action so you can just keep shipping those cluster bombs and F16s over to what is already the 5th most powerful nuclear state on earth ...courtesy of the American tax payer.

Oh and the British have absolutely nothing to do with it? I call your attention to: The British Mandate, The Balfour Declaration and the Sykes Pico agreement. While our foreign policy re: Israel and Palestine has not been anywhere close to perfect. Let's not forget who had a very large role in creating the mess in the first place.

This is not a history lesson! This is for real! 315 children killed this last few days by a crazed, brutal army armed and funded by American tax dollars. Does this seem OK to you? These people are real people - these children are the same as yours and mine! Why on earth would any civilized person support such a massacre of innocents? Is it because all of America is swayed by AIPAC propaganda? That seems, from here, to be implausible.

When dealing with the I/P never ending conflict it's always a history lesson. Without knowing the history. The how did we get here, what came before. I am not defending anybody here. Neither side has an inch of moral high ground on which to stand.
