If you'd seen the Ross Kemp program on Gazza, then you would have seen what the Isrerali's have done to Gazza.

The UN envoy to Gazza was highly crtical of their tatics in the last assault, where they took out the infrastructure of Gazza, schools, hospitals, civic offices etc.

They will claim that Hamas were using these as terrorist bases, but they also took out factories and the blockade has caused at least 100,000 to become unemployed, directly or indirectly. How are you meant to survive if you have no job. Who are you going to take your anger out on?

Its a very complex situation and even the some of the Palestinian's interviewed were very critical of Hamas and they'd rather be at peace with the Isreali's. There are agendas on both sides, that can't be comprehended.

But what nearly bought me to tears was the children interviewed at a psychiatric clinic who described their mothers, fathers sisters, grandmothers being shot by the Isreali's

Defend yes, but this?

I'll watch the 2nd part on Sunday, to get the Isreali side of the story, but like I said it opened my eyes.
