    @AmWiser - As always Zionists / Neocons want to turn everything into a clash of civilizations

    What BS! The war in Gaza has to do with Israel inflicting maximum damage on the Palestinian civilian population to apply pressure and as a form of collective punishment for having elected Hamas. Note that this war comes after a ceasefire - which largely held - but was violated by Israel. Israel kept 1.5 million people locked up, with no medicine and little food, in the open air concentration camp of Gaza for 2 years. Check the facts about the ceasefire on http://www.ifamericansknew.org/cur_sit/sheets.html

    For you to try to turn this into the clash of civilizations that Zionists and neocons are so fond of is utterly disgusting.
