Please don't think that anything that I said supports what you said before. And also, please do not compare the killing of 250,000 people to the killing of 500 people (the total Lebonese deaths in the current war). It is not even close.

In no way am I justifying terrorism. What I am saying is that both sides are equally guilty here. But that does not mean I agree with them. I think they are both wrong, and the unfortunate result is that innocent civilians on both sides suffer.

IMO, both sides should rise up and kick their extremist leaders out of office and find some more moderate leaders to negotiate a peace treaty and both should have their own countries. Unfortunately, a nasty human reflex reaction is that when we are faced with violence and are scared, we tend to give more support to extremists, which is exactly what we see happening on both sides of the current conflict.
