Bottom line is this series of attacks is well beyond "self defence" and is excessive aggression on Israel's part. I for one am disappointed the Canadian government doesn't have enough sack to stand up for what's right and instead choose to blanketly support these atrocities without the slightest bit of criticism.
I'm all for Israel's right to exist and defend itself from terrorism, but the same conditions need to exist for the palestinian people. Its never a "they are evil, we are good" scenario, and I have a really hard time differentiating terrorism from what Israel is doing right now, as pointed out in the post above.
