Israel vs. Palestine

I meant to talk about this a day or two ago, but my car broke down yesterday so I spent the majority of the day away from my computer.

However the issue, nevertheless, is important enough. I have personally have lost faith in Israel...it only matters what lense you look through to come to the same conclusion. In recent days the capture of the Israel soldier, by largely unknown militants, has caused Israel to technically invade Gaza and the Palestinian territories. In my opinion the Palestenians have shown amazing restraint, either that or the Israelies have shown amazing security precautions.

In the same time frame that militants, that Israel purports are part of Hamas just like they said Palestine shelled their own beach, captured the soldier, others also killed and 18 year old Israeli they kidnapped in another part of the Territories. However an even more improtant news item was breweing in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Parliment passed a resoloution recogonizing the need for a two state soloution, and in effect recognizig Israel as a the second state. The same resoloution also called for more non-violent means of protest, and to restrict fighting to the Terroritories claimed by Israel in the 1967 takeover.

My problem is how Israel reacts, a leader has to make a concious decision, the lives of TWO nations or the life of one human. I personally will not call judgement on what I would do. But if recent revelations are true, then what the Israelies did may have been good, but what it does in way of establishing two nations, I know not.

Militants Kidnap > Israel Invades > Palestine Recognizes Israel > Israel Continues to Shell > Militants Show Signs of Letting Go > Israel Continues to Shell

You know? Hehe it's like they don't talk to each other :P
