And yes they will take the side of the muslims that are dying... not because they are dying but because the forces used uppon muslims in this world is compleatly disproportionned (is that a word?).
a total of 12 motars hit israel, 1 person died. they retaliate by bombing one of the most denced population in the world with tanks, and planes. They kill 700 people (not counting the one that die because of the lack of medicine, food and water). they bomb UN schools and UN trucks
Of course we will take the side of the muslim. if i wasn't muslim i'd still take their side. I can't help and woder if they werent muslims would more people take their side?
12 mortars, and 1 death...doesn't matter. The potential threat and loss was too high to Israel, they saw a threat and wanted to neutralize it. They chose an extreme way(most would consider their peoples persecution extreme as well), but their people have been persecuted for most of time, excuse them for being on the defensive. 2 wrongs don't make a right but it can make it even. Unfortunately we take score.
