TIM W Siret, how can you write about the situation in Israel, saying that the death of one Israeli is one too many, but no mention of the countless deaths of the Palestinians by the Israelis, no matter who is retaliating or not?

The Israelis do not want the Palestinians there: the Palestinians do not want the Israelis there. So there are always going to be situations in that part of the Middle East.

However, Israel is surrounded by Arab countries, so you would think the Israelis would try to live in harmony, as should the Arab nations.

Otherwise – well, I think even you must be aware what will happen, Tim W Siret.
