   Why are there no tears or outrage when the Palestinians are lobbing rockets into Israel killing and maiming other humans? Now suddenly the Israelis attack back and it’s the end of the D@%n world, hmmm.

   I was outraged (though it didn’t make news as much as it should have and didn’t hear about it as much).

   But this guy never lobbed any rockets. His father was pretty much displaced by Hamas.

   Trust me, I would never even think about minimizing the man’s suffering and tragedy.

   I just thought that though the suffering is on both sides, the media only likes to play up the Palestinian side.

   It is always the radicals of any movement or group that never think about the suffering they bring down upon others who just want to get through life.
