Looks to be that way as things are getting really bad out there...If Israel does this then all the **** hits the fan. I'm not that familiar with the recent events but it sounds like the Palestians were attacking Israel so Israel is defending themselves, but now Palestine is pissed that they retailated? Is that right? Either way things are about to get a lot more crazy there.
Hopefully we don't get a repeat of 2009, when between 1,166 and 1,417 Palestinian and 13 Israeli died (4 from friendly fire). On that occasion, international observers and human rights groups accused both sides of violating international law and deliberately targeting civilians.
