I did initially sort of side with the Palestinians until they started sending their young boys to the front so that they could be shot dead for propaganda purposes against Israel ... now I feel sorry for the Israelis. What do you people think?

The Israelis have superior weaponry and technology given to them by the West, the Palestinians don't even have an army. It doesn't take a genius to work out who is going to come out on top.
I personally side with the Israelis, as it is technically them who have for years come out worst, but now they have a chance to get their own back.

Yes, very, worryingly similar.
indeed. very scary.
Look into these tired eyes. See something you might recognise.
Spot on man. Didn't the jews learn anything or do they they think that because the suffered such a heinous crime that they can perpetrate similar crimes?
Let's compare - displace a community (jews from warsaw, palenstinians from gaza), move your own countrymen in and then you are the major ethnic factor in the area.
Both sides have faults - that's war and I know it sucks, and there is no easy answer, but you shouldn't support anyone who uses tanks, helicopter gunships and bullets against kids throwing rocks!
I side with the Palestinians, in my honest opinion the Israeli goverment is filled with idiots and fools. But then again, who wouldn't be with the US behind their backs, supporting them with weaponry?
I think that the west should step between those two and for once do something that isn't of their main interest. Just help people in need.
What hurts me the most though is how the news tell me those things. They pain the Palenstinians utterly black while the Israelis are just settling their score, which is always fair and square (*coughs* yeah... shooting at kids, destroying houses and so on).
A very irritating case...
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
There is something poetic about getting wiped out by the product of your own hatred.

There is a touch of irony in there, thinking about it, didnt people say the same thing about nukes though?
As for the conflict, I hope both sides are wiped out, it'll lead to something resembling stability in the region.
As for what you said about nukes, I sort of agree. What I find particularly ironic here though is that the Jews and Arabs are so close, yet so inimical.
I think both countries are equally stupid. Even though Israel has the advantage of having better munitions etc., the Palestinians are provoking the Israeli's by using nail bombs etc against them.
I just hope they stop fighting soon before and more people get hurt, including my family.
