I'm somewhat sorry...

[curmugeon]

I gather some on my friends list may be upset by my ranting about the injustices of the Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza... While I have many Jewish friends, many think the current policy of the Israeli government and the constant war is only making Hamas stronger.. that is probably the truth. I'm not anti-Jewish or pro Hamas, but what is happening in Gaza is criminal.

I'll stop posting about Gaza when we see peace in Gaza... and I don't see that happening soon.

I agree that what is happening in Gaza is criminal. There is a difference between defense and attack. I appreciate your posts.

I, too, know Jewish people who are appalled. You and I don't want to be judged by the actions of this country in Iraq. I believe the same to be true there. These actions will not lead to peace in the region and they provide more ammunition against Israel. They do not make Israel more safe.

There was a time in history when might made right. I think these times are asking for solutions other than force.

A new morality needs to take place, a morality based on common sense, negotiation, and compromise, not fear. May this be so!
