We need to stop reffering to countries or groups as "good" or "evil". Its not a movie, a cartoon. I think we could learn lessons if we bothered to educate ourselves about our own nations and its history. Its not always positive, look at Great Britain over the last 400 yrs, or Australia and our attempted extermination of indigenous aboriginals or America, even the USA is guilty of gross crimes.

The trouble is this stereotype of im good and your not just doesn't work. Israel is the aggressor in this conflict, despite the rocket shelling (how many israeli's have died vs what 900 pal), and it is quite obvious judging by the death toll. Ofcourse, Israel is not evil or just good but neither is Gaza.

Death tolls don't decide agressors.

Who is attacking first does.

Just because the agressor is somewhat incompetant at attacking doesn't mean they aren't the agressor.

When the US screwed up the Bay of Pigs invasion it was still the agressor even though it lost.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.
