Dear Shahar,
In spite of all the negative responses you have received to your post, I wish to thank you for contributing to this forum.  It is precisely this kind of dialog which is necessary for understanding to occur.
As a Chinese-American, I may seem somewhat removed from the crisis.  But when my 85-year-old mother watches the images on TV of missiles flying and whole neighborhoods being destroyed, she remembers walking through the city of Kweilin after a bombing raid and seeing blood and body parts everywhere.
Abraham Joshua Heschel once said that "some are guilty and all are responsible."  Wherever guilt may lie, it is our global responsibility to put an end to this nightmare.
