And Israel wonders why nobody likes them.
I saw a Gaza kid today, I think on the BBC. He's 15. His family just got blown up. He said that all he wanted to do now is become a suicide bomber and return the favor in Israel.
I just saw CNN piece covering this. With a rather long, intricate, semantic and lawyery explanation from Israel's ambassador to the U.S. of why it's needed. With plenty of admonitions that you should be progressive and on the side of democracy and not put much stock in what you hear from Palestinians. What a shitstain he is.
