re: putting israel air strikes into perspective

Almost a thousand strikes over two dead kids, punishing all for the crimes of a few or even a single person. Seems reasonable.

It's hard to criticize their hostile takeover of the land since our country was founded in much the same manner, though our country doesn't need to be bankrolled by another to survive. If their de facto communism worked and their country was self-sustaining, I'd feel differently.

And the mortal enemies that they've created are going to get a lot better at destroying things as time goes by. There is no hope for a peaceful outcome over time, especially when religious fanatics on both sides actually want the whole world to burn.
