If you have an occupying army in the streets of your town, then the kids in that town are going to throw rocks at the tanks. What the hell is wrong with the world when the soldiers fire back?!
The people who represent our interests - the people we elected - are supporting the policy of the State of Israel, and are providing the arms and ammunition to carry it out. They are complicit in the cold-blooded murder of children.
(And don't anyone try to tell me that an appropriate response to suicide-bombers is to shoot dead 8-year-old children! Cos anyone with half a brain knows that the only result of that will be the creation of more suicide bombers.)
