Palestinians Have a Right to Defend Themselves!

[The Green Manalishi]

116. I'll be honest, and get flamed

If that rocket landed anywhere near me, the government would have my full approval to (assuming they could) locate where it was fired from and turn everything within a 20 mile radius into a radioactive crater. OK. maybe just anything within a few hundred meters into rubble... Regardless of it being launched from Tel Aviv, Moscow, Gaza or Beijing. I think that if I or my family were ever under attack I'd give the worst government in the world my full blessings to make a world class horrific example of the area it was fired from. A few months later my progressive instincts would manage to get the upper hand on my sense of self preservation, but not until 100 percent of any probability of future attack was removed; regardless of what percentage of what population had to perish.

At least that is how I believe my "thought" process would run if I were in the situation of EITHER the Israelis or the Palestinians. Hard to know for sure having been born and raised in Northern California; I just have the feeling that having to undergo anything like what is going on over there would make me trade my true blue bleeding heart for a 'kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out' in a couple of nanoseconds.
