For the 1st time I'm finding myself unable to blame both sides equally. What pushed me over the line was this post: <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mustafa-barghouthi/palestines-guernica-and-t_b_153958.html > As I read it I couldn't help thinking 'Even if everything you say is true, your position is untenable. Hamas clearly intended to to end the truce when they started shooting rockets into Israel and they must take some responsibility for the consequences. As one of the comments asks, 'How many missiles were fired from Guernica into Germany?'. Some of Barghouthi's arguments, that Israel's actions can't be defensive because they had a plan and that Israel should be held responsible for civilian deaths while Hamas gets a pass, are just senseless. -- Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
