Any individual familiar with my views on matters involving religious extremism (particularly fundamentalist/orthodox/evangelical Muslims, Jews & Christians) will surely confirm that I would never consider defending or sponsoring of the Palestinian cause; yet, undoubtedly brain washed by BBC America’s biased reports regarding the brutal (albeit it could be viewed as occasionally necessary) Israeli response to Palestinian missile attacks, I must concede that the Israeli reaction included acts must be deemed “excessive”.
On the other hand, bearing in mind the classical psychological case study whereby some abused children become psychopathic abusers themselves when they reach adulthood, one should view the behavior of Israeli (vis-à-vis the massacre of Jews during the Second World War) under the same light… Indeed, because the Jewish segment in Palestine has been oppressing the Palestinian and occupying some of their claimed lands for about six decades, I must partially “empathize” with those who classify Hamas missile attacks from into Israel as a justified act of self-defense (of oppressed peoples towards their invaders).
Yet, the bottom line is quite simple: both sides are to blame as both elements consist of extremely intolerant individuals who will never, EVER accept any settlement and thereby impose upon the world the nefarious spill-over consequences of their never-ending, pointless, irreconcilable struggle. The issue turns even more distressing, when one takes into account that the main underlying reason for their endless conflict is the ever imposing, always terrifying and unquestionably ridiculous & irrelevant issue of religion…
Consequently, because about 60% of Islamic and Jewish elements are intolerant religious militant, as far as I am concerned, their self-destruction in endless bloody warfare (Mohamed versus Moses) should be henceforth ignored by the rest of the world…
If the Sensible, Reasonable peoples of Earth were to eliminate ALL religions TOMORROW, by NEXT WEEK this planet would move significantly closer towards World Peace.

Dear Mr.Severus,
Your views are extremely balanced and down to earth. Please do accept my congrats. Time and again you have mentioned that you are an atheist.It doesn't bother me. I am not and I truly believe that the religions were founded to teach good things.But when religion becomes an issue and the cause for conflicts between human beings, it is time to say "Basta". IMHO, the religions have become Political Parties.They really do not give two hoots to their respective "Followers" and the leaders are only interested in their own welfare and that of their families.
Look at the recent conflict. As I predicted, both Palestinians and the Israelis declared a truce after 3 weeks of mayhem just on the eve of BHO´s inauguration. Their respective leaders want to show the new POTUS how peace loving they are. Forget about 1200 people that lost their lives. I think that a few days after BHO being sworn in, there would be "Business as usual". All parties will return to the "Killing Field". Of course, in the name of Allah and Moises.
BTW, have you heard about the health status of Ariel Sharon?
War cannot bring in peace but sadly it cannot be stopped.
"War cannot bring in peace but sadly it cannot be stopped."
It is a good quote, Mr.Yuvaraj and sadly true. War is the ultimate failure of Diplomacy that we are not willing to exercise.
REPLYING TO THE THREE ENTRIES (noted above).
