all wrong

watch this.

Watching that among other disturbing images on both sides of this long, sad war have left me with some questions.

Assuming Israel is a country, protecting their lands is perfectly and totally logical, understandable and defensible. However, Gaza doesn't recognize Israel as a country. Being scarcely more than 50 years old, and having been fought over for centuries, Gaza, it would seem, is exercising its right to defend what rightfully belongs to it. So who is right?

Just because Israel has the money and the backing of some other nations, none of which border it, have cross-cultural relationships or shared landmarks, does that mean that the Palestinian people are wrong? What if the Siberians came onto US soil and said that since they were here a long time ago and had some landmarks and religious destinations, they wanted to set up a country and move us over? What would we do then?

How would we feel if they showed up with weapons provided by the Russians and bombed their way in, and then set up a government and a bunch of laws, which kept us off of land that we had also been on for centuries or millenia, for the sake of their own "protection"? What if we didn't have the organization that they had to combat it and had to resort to guerilla tactics?

Who is right and who is wrong? And why do we feel it is okay to meddle in circumstances a 200 year old country can't possibly fully grasp?

Open ended, honest and politically incorrect questions.....my specialty.
