44. You know when you look at ANY conflict
Edited on Thu Oct-20-05 08:54 PM by nadinbrzezinski
through such nice one colored glasses, you miss the fact that there are many victims on BOTH sides.

What about the kid who lost parents during a suicide bomber, you think that kid is far less of a victim than the palestinian kid who lost his parents during an incursion?

this is what is the problem with people who look at things through these amazing glasses

Yes, the Israelis have violated human rights, but so have the Palestinians who used Red Crescent ambulances (no, not Israeli propaganda, they were slapped for that by the ICRC), violated treaties

Get off your high horse and realize that at this stage of the game, like in any other war, BOTH sides have done things and the victims abound on BOTH sides... My god to see Israelis gathering funds for Palestinians who need medical care is touching, you know why? They are capable of doing something you are incapable of... they see the other side as human. To see palestinian youth reaching across, again they see the other side as human. It is in those small steps that the conflict has a hope of resolution...not on outsiders screaming POOR VICTIMS.
