Starting to agree with you more and more. Mostly because I'm too lazy to figure out who ACTUALLY started it - if anyone can conclusively be blamed, anyway.
What gets me is the hysteria that this is causing in the west. I mean, I'm not in favour of civilians or children being killed for no real reason either, but I've seen posts on Facebook calling for the deaths of Jews or Arabs by Australasians with no connection to either. This is different to your call for a nuking of the entire area because to call for a wiping out of one of the two "sides" is to favour the other (obviously).
As I said, it's a barren desert. And it doesn't look like I'm going to get to travel to Israel anytime soon, so fuck them all. As a westerner, nothing pisses me off more than the inconvenience of some cunt daring to start a civil war (which was the cause of my failure to get to Egypt last year) or declaring war on their neighbours, causing my own government to cancel all its flights to whatever country I want to visit. I have first world entitlements, goddammit!
