The Equation of Death
by @jay Shenoy


Palestinian gunmen shooting down civillians. Israeli tanks tearing apart boys on bicycles. Suicide bombers proving how aptly named they are. Bulldozers turning homes into piles of wreckage. The Palestinian Intifida. The Israeli Occupation. All the players, from the Israeli Defense (or Occupation, depending on who's asked) Force to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas trying to rack up their kill counts, see who can get more frags, see who can set the new record for slaughter. Except the ones who die, the ones slaughtered, are more often than not the most innocent, those who didn't want to kill anyone. Each side cheers with each respective decapitated child, each bullet-riddled grandmother, each shredded, twisted, blood-soaked corpse. Why? Why are so many average Palestinians turned into the latest brand of smart bombs? The answer to this question opens the whole Israel-Palestine hellhole wide open for a look at the tactics and crimes of both militants and IDF, sides that seem more and more alike with every glance. Shots have been fired, fuses have been lit, villages have been occupied, homes have been wrecked, The tennis match has been played out for years, and hitting the ball back over the net only guarantees it will come back harder next time. The game must be called a draw quickly, or both sides will lose.

This Flash thing tries to make some sense out of the senselessness. This equation is not just something out of highschool algebra, but something even deadlier, something that, though simple in nature, has haunted humanity for centuries. Finding a solution to this equation is a bit harder than getting X on one side, but the reward is somewhat bigger than five points extra credit - modern math couldn't find how many lives such an answer would save.
