My head is spinning like a dradle...

I confess, I am at a loss as regards this whole Israeli/Gaza mess.  Does anyone know the story anymore?  Can anyone unravel hundreds, thousands of years of anger, miscommunication and hatred?  One minute I'm on one side, the next I see the other. My head spins like a dradle. The only thing I know for certain is that I don't want to see anyone else die.  No one.  No Israelis, no Palestinians, no arabs, no Jews, no Semites, no anti-semites.  But how to stop it? How indeed.  I sometimes think, as I look around the world, especially in light of the current economic situation, that the only business that never ever needs any kind of economic bail out, indeed thrives throughout every downturn, is the arms business.  The people who make, sell and traffic weapons must be laughing all the way to the bank.  Another war?  Yippee!  Another invasion?  Huzzah! Bonuses all around. How do they sleep at night, these people?  How would it feel to know that your life's work was death?  I know, I know, guns don't kill people, people kill people.  Guns sure help though. so do rockets and mortars and IED's.

OH! my goodness I have finally found someone who thinks like me.. My sentiments also why make all those arms ?? This is the first place to start,but they hold the USA and other governments , in the palm of their hands and it is BIG money!!They do not care if woman and children are murdered as long as they can have their big homes and boats and island retreats. We are the little people and to "H" with us . I have been saying this for years and just get laughed at .

It's a hard knot to unravel, isn't it. My opinion - it should never have been allowed to get this far in the first place. Now, I have only one question 'what would you do?'. The sad thing is that people will equate all Jews with Israeli national policy. I'm Jewish and I don't accept or agree with everything Israel does - I'm a Canadian, not an Israeli.
