Dear Diary,

As you know I have been a Daily Kos user for about 4 years now and I have to admit that I read these Israel/Palestinian diaries only to see other people get upset and battle back and forth on who is right and who is wrong. I sometimes feel guilty or even a little pathetic for my desire to read these silly and unproductive opinions/thoughts. But when I’m really feeling down on myself I always tell myself something that picks me right up, “At least you don’t actually contribute to these conversations and actual think you are making a difference”

For my own curiously I did a little search to see how often people on Daily Kos used the word "Jew". The results were quite striking, so I continued with my search to see how many times other religions, nationalities and races were mentioned.

I hate to say it but voicing your opinion on DK is not saving lives, creating peace or doing anything for that matter. This is a waste of your time.

Over the past few months the discussions around the Israeli/Palestine conflict have simmered down. There were two schools of thought on exactly why this was happening. One: The election was grabbing everyone’s attention and this conflict was not top of mind. Two: The main contributors to these discussions suddenly realized that there input on this conflict was repetitive and inconsequential.

Today the Islamic Jihad fired 2 rockets into Israel. This was in violation of the Egypt-brokered truce between Israel and Palestinians in the Gaza strip.

News has been coming out that a blast within Gaza has killed 7 people including a 4-month-old baby and wounded an additional 50.

Originally, Hamas placed blame on Israel for an airstrike. Israel officials immediately said they had no involvement. Now Hamas has taken responsibility for the blast

I have been a reader of the Israel/Palestine diaries for quite a while now. I’m extremely interested in the conflict in the Middle East. I think this steams back to my Hebrew school days where we learned in detail about the creation of Israel and the Israeli and Arab conflict. While in college my interest on the subject grew stronger when I took a class on Israeli/Arab affairs. Since then I have consumed as much material on the subject as I possibly can to try to wrap my head around the conflict.

Last September there was much discussion on DKos regarding an incident where Israeli planes bombed an unknown Syrian military target. The situation was a little curious because the news of this incident did not come from Syria or Israel, but from Turkey. Turkey discovered in their territory empty Israeli fuel tanks which sparked Israel’s announcement of the raid. There were many diaries written on this incident with various speculations as to why the raid occurred and what the target was.

Today I came across this article reporting that Ehud Olmert admitted that the Syrian military target was in fact "nuclear-related". Olmert also suggests that the facility was constructed with help from North Korea.

While this story made headlines in September I am curious as to why nothing has been said about the current developments.
