Can you remind me how many civilians our troops have killed in Afghanistan and Iraq in our 'fight against terrorism'?<BR/><BR/>The Israelis must try harder to protect civilians, even when terrorists are firing rockets from UN controlled schools. <BR/><BR/>Israel's economic blockade was in place to prevent arms getting through a border controlled by a terrorist government. Your suggestion of economic sanctions against Israel will hardly encourage them to allow the free movement of goods into and out of Gaza.<BR/><BR/>The one area where you are clearly right is that the double standards are nauseating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3228471701027095291.post-71054291509597706682009-01-08T17:25:00.000+00:002009-01-08T17:25:00.000+00:00Very well said indeed.

Yet the US and many countries support Israel, and continue their trades with the regime.<BR/><BR/>Israel will continue killing civillians while nothing is done. And once it stops, its as if everything is back to normal. After all its terrorism, relations will again build with the state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
