Bill Moyers on Mid-East Violence
"Yes, every nation has the right to defend it's people; Israel is no exception, all the moreso because Hamas would like to see every Jew in Israel dead. But brute force can turn self-defense into state terrorism. It's what the U.S. did in Vietnam with B-52's and napalm and again in Iraq with 'Shock & Awe.' By killing indiscriminately - the elderly, kids, entire families - by destroying schools and hospitals, Israel did exactly what terrorists do and exactly what Hamas wanted: it spilled the blood that turns the wheel of retribution."
