I don't remember equating Israel and Palestine on a national level. I do remember equating their actions.

The fact is 250Kg, or 500 Kg is a lot of HE, and it is going to cause a lot of damage. Innocents have been killed by both sides. Neither side seems to be winning using this strategy. Yes the Palestinians are targetting innocents, but Israel is still putting innocents in harms way. We are only talking shades of the same strategy.

The fact that the IDF managed to hasten an old man to his death means that young people will now die. Some would have died anyway, but not all. Is it worth it? Another martyr was createed, more young men in Palestine tied their headbands the day after than the day before. Is it a strategy that is going to solve the problem?

I personally think not, because it hasn't for how many years now?
