I guy like Nage is. That seems to be the typical reaction any time someone suggests that Israel needs to start playing fair, and facing consequences. As I mentioned before, I support Israel protecting itself, and the west supporting a democracy in that part of the world. What I don't support is us bending over backwards for them, even when they are clearly aggravating the situation. I'm just not sure it's worth it for us anymore. While doing nothing and letting things play out might empower the current generation of loonie-toons, unabashedly supporting Israel even when it does highly-questionable actions, only creates a new generation of Palestinians who want revenge....and we get stung by proxy. It's a pretty vicious cycle.
