I think there are too many angles and stories within this issue for a single-thread approach.
We are, however, considering a dedicated forum if it appears to be a long-term topic.
I think these issues effect all of us as world citizens, it will also extend our immediate and day to day expressions of our concerns and commitments to the less fortunate people we witness in the media going through difficult times.

Some members seem to find it necessary to derail every thread into a trolling Hamas-is-to-blame and Israel-is-to-blame topic.
That's what I mean. Someone starts a thread every time a bomb falls or a new video comes out. Then all the same people show up saying the same exact things they said on a dozen other threads.
It's all repeated - just under a new thread title. Nothing changes and I'm willing to bet no one actually reads what those people are spouting anyways. It's the same thing over and over.

I think people were starting to go into shock after the elections. Obama/McCain Israel/Palestinians To some people it all seems the same and a way to work out their own frustrations. I agree though that ppl need to take a time out and realize that spewing hatred from this side of the computer only serves to rev the tensions over there. It is called the Butterfly effect.
If the people on this site really cared for other people, it wouldn't matter what country they were residing in or what color they were. Spew out fire and you will get burned. speak to understanding and knowledge and that is what you get back. Anyway.... just felt the need to say it. I have an invested interest over there and it doesn't matter which side this person resides on..... all of THIS is not going to help *that*.
And this just goes to show, huh?! that hatred isn't just rooted within the heart of the middle east.
