The situation in Gaza and what has been done to average Palestinians living there speaks volumes. To suggest Israeli policy is wrong is hardly 'prejudice'.

Perhaps. Although we are finding out that the casualty estimates were inflated by Hamas officials, that Israeli war crimes did not occur (ie. use of WP, direct shellings of schools), and that Hamas has taken the medical aid provided by foreign governments for their own use.
How else would you deal with a radical Islamic statelet which seems to assume that it can launch attacks upon another sovereign nation and not expect retaliation? Moreover, an organization which explicitly, in its Charter, quotes the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
