In Egypt, hundreds of Egyptians have demonstrated in Cairo to protest the recent wave of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

Both sides need to stop dropping bombs. Enough people have died.
We hear from the "conservative" media that "Israel is defending itself", but meanwhile, bombs fall on familes' homes.
We hear from the "liberal" media that Palestinians are "fighting for freedom" by bombing Israeli villages, or apartment buildings in Tel Aviv.
What people need is to stop pointing fingers and start being fair. Both sides are launching rockets. BOTH sides are wrong, because violence begets violence.
Also, the US should not be using arms sales as a way to prop up the failing US economy. Perhaps a boycott of US goods would send the right message. After all, it is the US who seems to be gaining the most from the situation. The innocent Israeli and Palestinian civilians are forced see their children dying, while Lockheed Martin can prop up the stock market with healthy profits.
