This AFP photo news story says all you need to know about the Arab-Israeli conflict:

"A Palestinian woman expresses her anger after Israeli Defence Forces detonated an explosive belt they found in her house, destroying the ground and first floor of the building, in the village of Hizmeh near Jerusalem."

Well, it's easy to see why she was angry. I mean, if the Israelis weren't so unreasonable, they would have taken the explosive belt onto a bus full of Israeli children and detonated it there, like she intended. Obviously the belt wasn't supposed to blow up her house. This is just another legitimate grievance of the Palestinian people. Or at least, as far as I can tell, that's what the AFP thinks.

Personally, I think she should be glad the IDF didn't "express their anger" by blowing her sky-high.
