Thanks! And I have to admit my tone in certain posts doesn't hide my anger and frustration over the conflict and the Canadian media reporting of it. I should clarify that although I am against Israeli Zionist policies and aggression, I hold no hatred towards Israel itself and its existence, Israelis or Jews, as ultimately I would like to see a two state solution to the Palestine issue. While I sympathise with Israel's need for security for its civilians, I don't agree with their methods. Israel, the USA, even my own country of origin, India, don't realize that most of their security problems are very much the result of their own (terrorizing, dividing, us vs. them mentality) policies.

However, I would like you to know that I'm looking forward to reading about your views with an open mind since you're much closer to these issues than I am, so hopefully I'll gain better insight of this issue. I enjoy talking to people who have different views than myself (though I don't think we're that different!) because those discussions usually lead to a deeper understanding of very complex issues such as this.
