When the tragic events in israel and the Gaza strip started unfolding as Hamas raided israel and murdered 100s, I thought I was practically alone in not vilifying the Palestinian people for what had been perpetrated in their name. I am gratified to see that I am far from alone It now seems that I am far from alone in that point of view.
There can surely be no more asymmetric 'war' than that between Hamas and the mighty israeli 'defence' forces. Laying waste an entire city to root out a few 'terrorists' really is aping the WWII Nazis!
@Paulos_the_fog When Israel does it, it's terrible, but when their fellow Arabs do it, isn't even mentioned: 10,000 Palestinians killed in Jordan, Syria attacked a Palestinian neighborhood, using banned weapons, north of Damascus last summer.
Paul, you are so right. You were not totally alone — there were at least two of us.
@Paulos_the_fog The same nazies whose cities were entirely destroyed by the allies, or the Japanese militaristic whose cities were nuked? Nazies will target civilians, like Russia or Hamas do, Israel isn't purposely targeting them, it's call war
