Protests.. equal time?

Ok, the perennial battle between Palestinians, (who have valid grievances), and Israelis, (who have valid grievances), has erupted again after the cease fire with Hamas ended.

Almost immediately rocket and mortar fire began landing in towns in southern Israel.

For several days the Israelis seemed to hold off on responding except to issue warnings. And then the jets came in and began plastering Hamas's compounds. Nothing new there, right?

Here's the thing though, When Hamas or any other group attacks civilian targets in Israel you never ever see Arab groups protesting those attacks.

On the other hand if Israel responds with it's notoriously heavy handed response, (if you don't comprehend the thinking behind that tactic you need to go back to the time of Golda Mier or read a boook titled Ender's War), there are protests from nearly all corners of the Arab world.

If the people of that region are ever to have peace then both will have to get past the retribution cycle and end the blame game. Easier said than done when most people in the region approach an argument as if it were an art form.
