Yes the China connection....as well as Russia who both have to gain from the strife between the Palestinians and Israel. Both have ambitions that can contribute to the balance in world power. Russia in Ukraine, and China's ambition to take control over Taiwan.
Most people possess a narrow view of what's really going on in the middle east. I haven't even scratched the surface. And the extreme left with their slogans and twisted minds. That's another frustration to deal with.
Israelis have had it. They want to destroy Hamas and that's what they'll do in spite of world's opinion. Enough is enough. We are pissed.
