Israel has the right to exist as does Palestine. But this war and overall lack of Peace is NEVER going end if extremist elements on both sides aren’t taken out of power.
What Hamas did was beyond abhorrent and horrid in every way.
Israel has the right to defend itself.
But Israel shouldn’t go about it this way.
I’m not a military strategist by any stretch of the imagination, but I’d suspect there’s a more delicate way to go about ridding the world of the scourge that is Hamas.
Another thing, how the fuck did Israel miss all reports of what Hamas was planning.
This is Israel’s September 11th more than just the deaths. The country had some of the best intelligence agencies in the world, and this slaughter was missed? I’m more than a little bit suspicious.
That being said, people saying that Israel deserved or some how caused the slaughter of 1400 (geez that number keeps growing) of it’s own citizens is absurd.
Netanyahu needs to go if there is any hope for peace and even then with Iran and Russia pulling strings with the Palestinians and Hamas/Hezbollah it might just be a pipe dream.
What do you all think?
