The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
So.... people are saying that its OK for Israel to blockade the Palestinians to the point of starvation because there may be terrorists in the area.
Its the same old chestnut. Some people in the area are terrorists, but not all of them. Why should the many suffer because of the few?
For example, some US soldiers in Iraq have behaved reprehensibly, and bought shame on their comrades by their actions. Would it be right for us to condem all US soldiers? No.
I can't understand why people only seem to want to see the world in black and white when its a whole myriad of shades and colours. Its a very simplistic and dangerous way to view the world.
As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
