To think Isreal doesn't have a leg to stand on?

Isreal should be utterly ashamed of itself, there's no excuse for what has gone on

I hope the perpetrators will be brought to justice for crimes against humanity

But they never will be brought to justice that's the way it works. Despicably so

awful

another generation raised full of hate (and justified in my opinion)

I'm not sure about justified, understandable certainly.
If you think that hate is justified, I think that it perpetuates the problem...
I know that what has happened to the Palestinians since 1948 (not just the last few days) is horrendous, shameful, (choose adjective of your own), but they have to try and find a way forward - not down in an endless spiral of hate.
As do the Israelis.

none whatsoever.

and the saddest thing of all is that what has gone on will damage israel so much. it makes israel LESS secure. hugely damages her standing in the international community. stokes anti israeli fervour. arms terrorists.

it is tragic.

It is quite horrifying and grotesque to think that there will indeed be no repercussions whatsoever for the horror that they have inflicted on an already suffering people.

A fair number of Israeli's don't have legs to stand on because Palestinian bombs blew them off.

Walk a mile in Israel's shoes...

Israel is by no means doing the right thing at the moment, and there needs to be massive international intervention to sort this mess out. But I get very very tired of everyone blaming Israel for the whole sorry mess.

Who needs a leg to stand on when the only superpower in the world is there to support you unconditionally?

if Israel doesn't have a leg to stand on I don't know where that leaves us and the States, has our own conduct always been so spotless?

ssd · 20/01/2009 09:29

no, not at all
