Israel-Palestine Conflict (Episode 183)

Once again. . . Again, the conflict between Israel and Palestine escalates.  As usual, Israel has decided that for every rock that is thrown at Israel, 2 missiles are returned back at Gaza.  Israel likes to think that they're always the victim, but they certainly do not help the situation at all and have done their fair share of violence and destruction.

While I condemn the actions of Hamas and any terrorist group, I can understand why the Palestinians do not care for Israel.  After all, Israel was once Palestine before the land was taken from them.  Whenever radical Palestinians decide to kill innocent Israeli citizens, Israel decides that they should also kill innocent Palestinian civilians.  Because Palestine is not its own state, Israel knows they can get away with this stuff, as well as the fact that America has a habit of blindly defending Israel no matter what they do.  What's also disturbing is that this military action by Israel could be for the upcoming election. 

In my opinion, the best way to solve this conflict is to make Palestine it's own state, and give them back a reasonable part of their land.  Until that happens, I find it hard to believe that Israel is the victim in this situation, especially since they kill many more Palestinians than Palestinians kill Israelis.
