I am not on netenyahu's (he is not Israel, just an elected figurehead) side or hamas or hezbolla. I am on the side of innocent people who just want to feed, clothe, house and educate their children in peace.

Of course I oppose ALL atrocities that hurt the innocent. Neither side is in the right when it comes to this war.
