If angry tweets and Facebook posts solved anything there would be peace in Israel and Palestine tonight.
If only all that self righteousness on both sides could be harnessed for good.
There will be no victory for either side, there is no black and white, no goodies and baddies, just grey dust, tears, bloodshed and death.
None of your rants are doing anything to change that.
Who fired the most rockets and who killed the most people are tragedies, not statistics to use to justify further tragedies.
Israel and Palestine need a peace process and none of the "debate" I have seen here on Facebook is of any help at all.
Recriminations will get you nowhere and will win nothing.
We must be a friend to both nations, an honest broker and share our experiences with them and help lead them to the peace that we have eventually found here on our little island.
Maybe then both peoples will find out, like we have, that there is more to unite us than divide us, that hate leads to hate and that we share more in common with each other than we realise.
As John F Kennedy once said "For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's futures. And we are all mortal."
