Initially I wanted to stay away from this because I find it disturbing. But ... (should proberly have stayed away).
I have great sympaties with the victims of the Isrelic and Palenstinian victims for that conflict, and I see it as a great stain on humanity that nothing can be worked out in that regioin, but .....

I find it disturbing that somebody - especially that descripes themselves as liberal and moderate - would support and accept suicide bombings. A "tactic" that is designed to target innocent civilians, out shopping, eating, anywhere and whichs only goal is to cause so much terror that the targeted part "gives up".
But I guess, to support such a tactic, one would not descripe anybody from the "enemy" as civilian or innocents.


And with sentiments like that from such a corner, it is no wonder that any hope for a peacefull solution to the middel east conflict is all but gone. Because as you said yourself, imagine how the conservative feel (and add to this the fanatics that actually blow up innocent people). I had imagined that it was only fanatics and similars that actually supported such a tactic and the rest actually were interested in a peace.

Violence breeds violence, and targeting innocent civilians will never accomplish many goals, on the contrary - it will only hurt them and bring peace even futher away.
