I sort of agree with pig here. Long ago I decided there were no 'good guys' in the 'middle east conflict.' With the exception of the people on both sides who do not want to fight - of which there are many. The powers that be in both Israel and occupied Palestine are the proponents of ugly, inexplicable brutality that exploit the suffering of their own people. Each is just like the other. How can one take a side? That I do not understand.
It just makes me feel sick.
