 they are all human beings. its sad that some believe their lives are more valuable than others. i do wonder at this point if isreal will negotiate with palastenians soon before this situation really blows up.

The Big question is the amount of support/resources the Arab League/or Iran and the US will provide. 
 its all ego and everyone wants to play the victim. its really pathetic
