Two killed in Gaza after rocket hits Israel's Beersheba


The Israeli military has killed two Palestinians in Gaza Strip, one in an air strike and another as he approached the border fence, officials said.

Air force jets struck four sites in Gaza after Palestinians fired a rocket into the Israeli city of Beersheba.

Palestinian officials said one militant was killed and four people wounded, including a five-year-old boy.

Also on Tuesday, Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian man who entered a designated no-go zone along the border.

Palestinian sources said medics had retrieved the body of an 18-year-old civilian with multiple gunshots to the head and upper body.

An Israeli military spokesman said troops opened fire after the man had approached the buffer zone where militants frequently plant explosive devices.



So why are these people fighting ?

The answer is simple. Unpleasant , but simple. I really don't know why no one puts this in print but I guess I will.

Before the 1950's , before the invention of birth control , the world had a serious population control problem. A problem they had been living with for literally centuries. And how did they solve this problem , you may ask ?

They held summer wars.

They went to war with their neibours, and they pared off the population that way. And so the english and french had a hundred year war. And great britain drafted people off the street into their navy...yep. They deliberately went to war and killed each others young population off.

As Napolean once said , after witnessing a particularly brave charge by british troops into the teeth of french cannons "It was a beautiful thing that I saw. But it was not war. "

The middle east , locked into a religion that forbids birth control, already has a solution in hand for paring off their population. A solution they have used for centuries , and that works well , and that they see no need of changing.

Summer wars.

There will be no peace in the middle east. Not until they accept the pill or some other form of birth control. There's too many people and not enough food , and the rest is mere details.

Who hates who ? Who betrayed who ? Who shot first ? Not important. Not part of the equation.

Too many people , not enough food. Thats the problem.
