the parrallel is misplaced..the sentiment is correct.

The sentiment is taken from a rather simplistic and one sided outlook
of the situation, however. While this should in no way been seen as
supporting the actions of the Israelis, the current situation in the
Middle East is considerably more complex and blame is certainly not
easily apportioned.

Any nation that uses its war machine to attack innocent civilians, should be
blamed one hundred percent. There is no excuse. Even if they think there are
terrorists in a block of flats, this does not excuse demolishing the block
of flats plus four or five neighbouring blocks of flats.

I am glad that Kim Howells had the courage and integrity to say what Beckett
and Blair did not dare say.
