Off The Hook

I recently started to read Mark Pincus’ blog. Mark is from Israel, so I’m surprised to see he wrote the following paragraphs…but I think this pretty much sums up the reality of the current Middle East crisis...

“Why can't we all take a breath and take an even handed approach?

That starts with acknowledging that what hezbollah and hamas did in killing and kidnapping israeli soldiers was wrong and deserved some response. Since the UN has never condemned one act against israel. She must act for herself.

Second, israel's response is also too much and is wrong. Civilians shouldn't die…”

Mark also posted a comment left by one of his regular readers which reminded me of a political science paper I wrote in college that echoed similar sentiments.
