Thousands of people demonstrated in several Israeli cities on Saturday evening for the release of hostages held by the militant Palestinian organization Hamas and against the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu is probably the worst calamity ever to beset Israel. He makes Sharon look pretty decent by compare....

I've never found trying to sort things into the good and the evil much use in understanding people and events. Particularly not in matters of state and war.
