Who do you think is mainly to blame for the current Middle East crisis?

Found this on Al-Jazeera and thought it was a good poll.

Oh wow, I'm shocked that's where you get your "news" from.

That explains a whole f'in lot about you right there.

PAD, I also get news from frontpagemag, newsmax, and freerepublic. You want to attack those to?

I was just giving credit to the source, that's all.

Anyways, back at the ranch...

Hamas and Hezbollah are funded by Syria and Iran. That places ultimate responsiblity on those nations.

Reading some of your comments on other threads I see you as a fairly conservative person, and typically pretty level headed. I hope you don't attack me for reading something like Al-Jazeera. I typically read between 15-20 different news sites everyday, including Al-Jazeera, Haaretz, Pravda, BBC, and others. It is good to gain all the facts about something before making an educated decision.

IMO i say Iran and Syria would be the biggest influence at the minute as well.

AnAmericanXX, I don't fault anyone for reading that kind of stuff. 'Zo and I have years of experience with one another and my disdain for his positions is sometimes great. So take into account, it was as much a rib as anything else.

I read the KCNA (North Korean) website now and again as well as plugging in stuff like Common Dreams, Mother Jones and some truly socialist crapola. I just don't cite any of as news worthy material.

I don't know what it is about the Jews, but at pretty much any point in history there has been someone trying to wipe them off the map. The fact that Israel is a nation and Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations, I think it is clear who the problem is. The sad thing is that the world has given such terrorist organizations the same voice and standing as many nations. Places like the UN are despicable because they suggest that Israel (always on the receiving end of terrorist persecution) is acting inappropriately in responding to terrorists. But since half the countries represented at the UN are run by terrorists, what else would one expect?

This needs to have a few joiner answers, such as Hizb'Allah and Iran/Syria as facilitators.
