An Iranian student showing his support for the palestinians Hamas, and Wilson from Home Improvement.
I guess for the Iranian student, the grass is greener on his side of the fence. But perhaps he should be looking in his own backyard.

About the Author: An Australian immigrant to Israel, Aussie Dave has been blogging since early 2003.
The South African Sunday Times published a cartoon on 2 July accompanied by an editorial falsely comparing Israel’s actions to those of the former South African apartheid regime:
“There was a time when apartheid South Africa – under the leadership of PW Botha – was notorious for its cross-border raids into neighbouring countries.
That was when the South African Defence Force was the main instrument used to destabilise South Africa’s neighbours. The Nats argued that these raids were carried out in pursuit of “ANC terrorists” in those countries.
In most cases innocent civilians – many of them citizens of those countries – were maimed or killed.
The latest Israeli assault against the Palestinian people is a grim reminder of Botha’s military tactics against South Africa’s neighbours….
A war that knows no boundaries between innocent civilians and legitimate military targets can only be described as state terrorism.”

Top Hamas official shot dead by unknown assailants in Gaza
By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz
“Unknown assailants shot dead Dr. Hussein Abu Ajwa, a senior Hamas official in the Gaza Strip, on Wednesday night.
Gunmen tracked Abu Ajwa’s vehicle, following him to his home in the Tufah neighborhood. At around 11 P.M., the armed men shot Abu Ajwa, 44, as he got out of his car. He was taken to Shifa Hospital, in Gaza City, in critical condition and later died of his wounds.
Sources in Gaza described Abu Ajwa as a leading promoter for religious and political reform in Hamas.”
How can this sort of thing help a peace process?
