The comments regarding this article are simply amazing. First we have "hey douchebag!" and then we get "Check Point Software is a multi-national giant." Great. And that is only to be followed by character assasination attacks and lots of !!!!! exclamation points!!!! Thats very helpul commentary. Very rational, very civilized. This is just so typical of the reactionary vitriol and hate that occurs anytime someone criticizes Israel.
However, public sentiment is slowly turning against Israeli violence. With more and more attrocities occurring at the hands of the IDF ( why would any civilized nation be using artillery shells to terrorist targets within a civilian city's limits? is it a surprise that 18 civilians were wiped out while the slept this week?), more and more reasonable people are starting to speak-up. Neither the cry of "anti-semitism" nor holocaust guilt can keep rational people from eventually coming to their senses around what is clearly a human-rights disaster. There is no way to justify these acts. Period. In its attempts to wipe out its terrorist enemies, Israel has become a terrorist. It is so ironic. Psychologically it is quite classic. The victim that then becomes the perpetrator. A population that experienced a genocide in the previous generation now becomes a regional bully aiming indiscriminate violence all around any time it is poked. I remeber during the 2nd intifiada when the IDF rounded up every male from 15 years old on up in some towns in the west bank and/or gaza to conduct indiscrimnate interrogations. They etched serial #s into their arms to keep track of them. It was right out of a holocaust picture.
