THE WORST

This has been hovering for a long time now.

And you know what is the worst part? that I feel like I need to apologize! apologize for caring! apologize for not writing hate filled comments at all those articles that bring the Palestine side. That I don't do ahead and cheer "yeah, so 10 are dead, want more!"

Well, I do not. I am an Israeli, a Patriot, and a proud one. I adore my country, while being well aware of its numerous short comes. I acknowledge freely that both sides here have its Crazies, and that ours are in no way any more or less crazy than the other side. I agree that My People come first, I agree that if rockets and bombes are lunched from among civilian population, there is no choice but to fire back, in order or protect our civilian population. But. That does not mean I can't hurt when I read about dead and wounded children, see broken bodies of kids, think and imagine the mental wounds. There is no contradiction between complete loyalty to my country and empathy for the human suffering of the other side. And if that makes me a traitor...so be it.
