is how the ME mindset is.
i see no end to the murderings there
The signature says "In a way
I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing up of truth, an eye for an eye etc." While I agree that the vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians feel this way, I'm guessing that's not what you meant.

Are you sure?Say for certain it was not sanctioned by the armed wing of Hamas, who are the Government of that side.
Hamas have denied responsibility. The one thing about Islamic organisations is that they generally rush to proclaim responsibility proudly. Stupid, but true.
I fully believe that the murder of the settler boys was the act of individuals.

Born from frustration at seeing the same thing over & over again for the last 43 years.
Imagine, then, how sick of it the Israelis and Palestinians are. Unfortunately, they don't have the luxury of being desensitised to it.
Each murdered child needs to be mourned in their own right as an innocent victim - be they Israeli or Palestinian. The death toll in Gaza has exceeded 200. How many children need to die before people stop justifying it and start to care?
