THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MY NON-ISRAELI READERS:
in the last 72 hours, a bomb exploded in jerusalem wounding 35 people and killing 1, more than 70 missiles were shot by the hamas into israel. israel will probably have to react soon - things might get ugly - you'll PROBABLY hear about it for the first time when the media in your country presents israel as the aggressor.

FYI.

the problem with western morality is that we're always trying to take the other's perspective, which is great! only the other isn't always trying to take ours.

it's very hard for most people to accept that some people don't want to be friends with everyone. and it's even harder for some people to understand that having better weapons and technology is not what makes a nation the stronger.

only those who have been on the ground in iraq or afghanistan can understand what we've been dealing with, and how complex the situation is. it would be nice if we could all just get along, and it doesn't help that there're many israelis and palestinians who aren't fans of violence.

the word "innocent" has no meaning to them, the same as it no longer has any meaning to us when the difference between an innocent and a terrorist is not whether he fired the gun two seconds ago, but rather whether or not he's holding a gun RIGHT NOW.
and most israelis have served in the army, making us all guilty. disregard the fact that very few of us WANT to serve.

thank you, rest of the world, for being so understanding.
