it is unfortunate and shameful that you dont show the 2 sides of the conflict..on the one hand is a democratic country trying to protect its citizens and on the other hand a ruthless terrorist regime bent on the destruction of everything non-islamist and western..one day, this will come home to roost and anyone with western beliefs will regret this one sided criticism of israel.
