Both sides are to blame for the conflict, Israel has a right to defend itself, but has no right to go on building settlements to increase their territorial rights. They are the true aggressor, Palestinians shouldn't have to sit by peacefully why they continue to take more of their land, whilst the USA and the rest of the jew influenced world lets them.
In saying that the use of human shields as martyrs in the conflict by Hamas is cowardly, I realise they cannot fight the western war machine that is Israel in a traditional war, as they would be slaughtered and so here is teh conflict what are they to do. Israel should have stopped expanding settlements years ago if they were serious about peace, to think we can allow a people to occupy a land in modern times under the assumption God gave it to the Jewish people just shows how much of a mess this world of ours is in.
