blastoftv,
The problem is that Israel is automatically blamed for everything wrong in the middle east.
It's in the interest of Arab leaders, so they don't have to deal with the shit in their own countries. Many Europeans feel it clears them from the guilt of how they treated Jews for the last 2,000 years.
Just yesterday I spoke with a German reporter who said he was very frustrated by the way his network failed to mention that Israel was targeted with rockets fired at civilians (alongside the kidnapping) before attacking, that almost 2,000 rockets were fired at Israeli towns during this conflict and the fact that reporter cannot report from within Beirut without a Hizb'allah guide that makes sure they only shoot and interview what works for them.
Instead of helping the Palestinian cause, the automatic blaming of Israel (that is continiously shelled from Gaza, although the troups exited Gaza), creates a "fuck you" or should I say "Fuck EU" attitude in Israel and casues people here to loose faith in peace.
When I served as a soldier in Gaza, I, and a few other soldiers, shared our food with a poor local family.
The next day, when a French lady reporter toured there, their kid showed her his appendix scar and pointed at me, saying I did that to him. She started screaming at us...
Blaming one side doesn't help.
Justice is in the eye of the beholder.Trying to find historical justifications for one side or another doesn't help either—the world should look at the current situation and find a workable solution.
My gradparents were killed by the Germans, yet my best friend is German. My parents grew up under British occupation, yet I (or even they) don't hate the British. There is no reason why there cannot be peace in the middle east.
