Rockets fired in self defense become construed as aggression? First
remember that this all began when Israel fired upon supposed Hamas
members as they attempted to dig a tunnel allegedly for the purpose of
moving humanitarian aid across the border with Israel. But whether or
not you accept the story as it's documented, this assumes that Hamas
actually thought their puny rockets could be used to wage war on a
country with the world's largest air force, a very strong and willing
military in general, and that is largely self-supporting. All this when
Gaza cannot even supply itself with enough of life's basic necessities.
I can't imagine they might have thought that for even a second. (Since
the time of the last ceasefire, Israeli death toll = ~15 mostly
soldiers Palestinian death toll = 500+ of which one quarter or more are
civilians and these numbers leave out the injured) In fact, though, they
have been provoked to their wits end, and decided to do anything they
possibly can to make an impact. (Of course, I do not condone the
actions of Hamas, indeed they are guilty of crimes as well. I am simply
making the distinction that Israel is killing and injuring on a much
larger and unneccessary scale.) Now the largely peaceful inhabitants of
this prison-state created by Israel are being systematically destroyed,
and not just "militants." Why is it that Israel is free to proliferate
nuclear weapons with no UN inspections or even honesty about what
they're doing (a priviledge they share with the US, of course), block
humanitarian aid efforts (a violation of international laws of war),
and attack an utterly defenseless "country" as they are and not receive
any international backlash?
My support for Israel (if I had any)
stops at this barbaric violence. If they had engaged in some reasonable
talks long ago, this entire situation might have been avoided. There is
no reason to blindly and unflinchingly support a country that is
committing atrocities even if, ESPECIALLY IF, their people have been
the victims (Holocaust) in the past.
Put away your typically
pro-Israel mindset for a minute to digest the facts. It's not fair to
assume that anyone's opinion is unfounded or blind, and I am not
assuming anything, but this personal attribute has been showing up
lately with an alarming frequency. It's just like GWB's ignorant
"patriot" tool (the average US citizen who doesn't realize his REAL
responsibility to his COUNTRY) that allows him to run our nation into
the ground.
Check out this link, and otherwise pursue the
evidence, and make a decision for yourself.

Thanks
for reading, if you have. No matter what you do or what decisions you
make, the important thing is that you QUESTION. The enabling factors of
atrocities are the willful ignorance or blind acceptance of the actions
of the aggressors.
Yo Attereves, if you want to put an edited version of that in the paper, let me know and I'll work on it.
I'm going to send it in to the Democrat, as well.
That's it for me. I'm going to do something not depressing.
