Firstly I think we should all feel for the innocent men, women and children on both sides who've been kiiled and are destined to die in this long running dispute.

It seems to me, though, that whilst the Israelis may feel they're winning the war militarily, they're losing the propaganda war. Their reaction (military and otherwise by blockade) to provocation (genuine, perceived or manufactured) seems increasingly and unnecessarily indiscriminate and if it is intended to make Israel a safer place I can only say that it's misguided. I don't think anyone in that region is any safer as a result of what's been happening - quite the reverse in fact! If Israel carries on escalating its response to attacks the whole region will sooner or later erupt into war. What's needed is for Israel to take the moral high ground, to stop indiscriminately punishing innocent men/women/children in Gaza and to act in accordance with international law.
