But I guess Egypt didn't do anything to deem that response right? I always laugh whenever people start quoting the actions of Isreal out of context without even attempting to explain the situation surrounding those actions.

I blame Isreal for NOTHING. This is a people that have spent their entire existence with various people trying to kill their entire race because of their religion. They went into Isreal, everyone tried to kill them, and they kicked their asses, AND GOOD FOR THEM. Isreal has their enemies living in their own country, not across the Atlantic ocean like us. I'd be a little trigger happy too.

You would think the Palestinians would take a hint. They attack Isreal, Isreal counter attacks with 10 times the force and takes more land... repeat for the last 50 years. Isreal even gave lands back, and Palestine decided to use that to attack Isreal more. Wow... they're brilliant.

If you really think that Isreal is whats wrong with the Middle East, you really aren't paying attention to history over the long haul. The Middle East has been battling one another for thousands of years, Isreal is just the flavor of the month if you look at the history as a whole. These are countries that have UNLIMITED RESOURCES (Oil), and many have failed to get out of the Middle Ages and tribal systems. They do not help one another in times of need, in fact they do the exact opposite. When the Taliban were removed from power in Afghanistan, who nearly all the other Middle Eastern countries hated, who fed their starving people? THE WEST. All the oil rich countries sat on their asses and askeed what we were going to do about those poor people. You make fun of Isreal when its pointed out that they have the best health care in the world, when most of the countries surrounding them have NO healthcare AT ALL. Wake up.

The Middle East will go down in history as a collosal failure of modern civilization. All trhe resources, ZERO conviction to do anything with it.

Wow, now THATS what I call going off on a tangent.
