These numbers do not include the death and suffering caused from the apartheid state the Palestinians are living under. When is this going to enter the larger conversation? |
Well put. The loss of life on both sides and the way media around the world spins it for one side or another and spins this as an Israel vs Arab people conflict just ignores the fact that this is actually a Islamic terrorist organization vs a corrupt Israeli government issue. And of course, all the civilians are caught in between.
