Israel's actions
Surely now it is time for Bush and Blair to step in and tell Israel that enough is enough.
The US and the UK have been staying Israel's hand since its inception, begging, pleading, imploring Israel not to fight after they've been attacked. There are innumerable instances where Israel has done nothing, whatsoever, even after being attacked. How many Hamas attacks have occured where Israel does nothing? How many SCUDS landed inside Israel during the first Gulf War and Israel did absolutely nothing? They've put up alot of needless crap for a long time. At some point you're going to have to give them a chance to defend themselves.
Israel is getting away with state terrorism against innocent Palestinian civilians. This last week or so the Israeli government has sanctioned actions which have resulted in the deaths of manu innocent Palestine civilians. They are deliberately targetting, amongst other things, civilian ameneties, and they really do not care who they kill in the process.
Israel has launched assaults against military targets. And before you claim that Hamas is a terrorist organization, that is only half true. Hamas IS the Palestinian government and they have poked and proded Israel into a fight since its inception.
Furthermore, Israeli troops aren't "targeting" civilians anymore than US and UK forces are instructed to attack Iraqi civilians. And if you want to argue that point, then why didn't the US simply decimate Iraq? Why? Because it isn't true. Its a baseless assertion propagated by the Left and all their lies. Likewise, Israel engages combatants who are trying to KILL them. That is absolutely justified under the Geneva Convention.
If this was any other nation Bush and Blair would do something about it, the UN would do something about it, can you imagine the outcry if the UK had bombed Ireland during the troubles?
If you don't think that the US or the UK isn't tragically concerned about what's going on, then you have no concept of reality. The US and the UK are terrified at the prospective outcome, which is Syria, Iran, and host of other nations getting in on the action. Nobody wants this, but point the finger where it belongs... at Hamas!
The latest news is that the Palestine gov is calling for International help to stop the Israeli invasion of their country, so why is Israel getting away with State Terrorism, why is the civilised world sitting back and doing nothing?
Because they aren' engaged in state terrorism. But if you really want to know, the UN always backs up the Palestinians. Everything is falling into place. You'll get all that you want... But we'll see if you want what your going to get.

Re: Philistia?
Where are you getting this from? I've heard that it has been called "Palestine" since the Roman Empire started calling it that, since the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, as a slap in the face to the Jews for whom it had been called Judea before that. I'm sure it's a Romanization of "Philistia" but the Roman name is the one that was used ever since.
The Phillistines are Palestinians, and they've pretty much always lived side by side the Israelites/Israelis. Goliath was a Philistine (Palestinain). However, the bloodline is different. A Palestinian, or a Phillistine, is supposed to mean somebody that lives in Palestine/Phillistia. But it has synthesized to mean a certain type of people, i.e., a race. And the inhabitants of current day Palestinians are a mix between Arabs and Assyrians. Arabs coming from Saudia Arabia and Assyrians coming from Syria. In other words, the old worl Phillistines have nothing, or litte, to do with modern-day Palestinians in biological terms. That's probably where the confusion lies. Hope that helps.
