thought i'd send this to a few people and it might be useful for someone. i was wondering how big the gaza strip was. turns out its about as long as from seaford to worthing but with about 3 times the population. not far off the area covered by a supersaver bus ticket... just helped me get it into perspective a little bit...

If they did would that give the ripe area of Burgess Hill the right to send the RAF in to bomb Brighton, and then send the army in on a land invasion?
What the maps show is the disparity between one side and the other along the lines of recources and there equitable distribution. As a previous poster says, the rocket attacks are just an episodal enactment of a conflict that has gone on for a long time. Until there is an adaquate addressing of this problem this conflict will just continue to be presented in such a way that you are either for or againstr one side or the other.
A fact much exploited by both sides.
The justification for the actions of the Israeli's is, and can plainly be seen, to be dispraportionate.
Interesting to note that Lebanon's firing of rockets into Israel yesterday was dismissed out of hand by the Israeli's. If only they had thought to do that with Hamas. Hamas would still be firing their rockets, but those rocket attacks would dwindle in proportion to Hamas maturing its understanding of self-interest which as we all know, goes hand-in hand with democracy.
Snuff democracy out and what are you left with?
Interesting?
Let's keep Burgess Hill out of this, shall we?
