i didn't know which one was him. i like Annie Lennox, though. beautiful singing voice. i wish she had sang her segment.
look, i don't think anyone here is cheering the Israelis on with these attacks. personally, i think the Palestinians screwed up by indiscriminately lobbying missiles into Israel, but the response has been too harsh. then again, you can't expect Israel to sit back and ignore missiles. as i noted earlier, it sux all around.

FYI he was the bearded Jewish guy who spoke second in the sequence and denied that the attacks on Gaza were being conducted 'in our name'. As a comedian, incidentally, very funny! But that's another matter.
Ditto what though? 'Ditto and Israel should withdraw from the occupied territories? Or 'Ditto and Israel should carry on in occupation?' And don't start talking about fnK%!g road maps either.
Yeah, but that's effectively taking sides with Israel. I've said what's required for neutrality often enough - the enforcement of international law, it's not a lot to ask.
Look Key... I think Israel has made mistakes... illegally occupying lands that they weren't supposed to, .... and Hamas has made many mistakes - suicide bombers, random missile lobbing... and others.
NO ONE is without fault; it sux all around. That's my Ditto !
It's like Bosnia and Serbia conflict in the 1990's, or the Congo massacres ... all were ruthless and all were at fault.
How is faulting BOTH, taking sides with Israel ? That's illogical. I'd like BOTH sides to live in Peace, but many won't let that happen - each keeps thinking they can get the upper hand.
Because non-resolution of the problem allows it to both continue and extend the occupation with the benefit of US supplied military might.
The picture became clear, if it wasn't already, when extremists shot their own Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on 4 November 1995, that Israel doesn't even want a settlement but wants to subjugate the Palestinians for as long as it can mesmerise Americans into believing that it does. Rabin wasn't an accident you know - it was calculated cold-blooded execution of an Israeli war hero and genuine statesman who wanted peace.
Blaming the Israelis and giving Hamas a pass does not provide a resolution to the problem. Blaming Hamas and giving Israel a pass does not provide a resolution. Blaming everybody does not provide a resolution.
So what exactly is your constant pointing fingers and assigning blame supposed to achieve in the goal of resolving this problem? Your constant "I call for...." gets nowhere near a resolution. Action is needed, I would propose that such action should stem from the UN, but as has been noted by many, that organisation is not of a mind to DO anything, but merely jump on the finger pointing, blame assigning bandwagon.
