Prayers for Israel

[Unfettered]

It's a mess, for sure.

I’ve decided as of today I’m not supporting either Israel or Palestine in this whole conflict. The whole thing just turns me off.

"This was just one of Hamas's countless acts of terror in a litany of brutality and inhumanity. That, yes, brings to mind the worst of ISIS. Babies slaughtered, bodies desecrated, young people burned alive, women raped, the parents executed in front of their children, children in front of their parents. How are we even to understand this?" Antony Blinken

I think it is easy to know who is right and who is wrong. Nothing Israel has done warrants this kind of evil.

I’m done

 

[Jimmy]

For the sake of argument Let’s just say All Jewish people moved out of Israel. I think the sickos in Hamas would look for another group of people to terrorize. I don’t think Hamas has a goal in mind. I think their goal is to terrorize human beings. Until Palestinians and others do something about it unfortunately they will remain in power

Except for driving Palestinian families from their homes

It's never as simple as we'd like.

No war is right, and all participants are wrong.

 

[Jimmy]

Yeah almost got caught up in delusion

 

[Soandso]

No war is right, and all participants are wrong.

Amen

 

[The Hammer]

Amen

Granted,as an addendum and clarification, I don't think all wars are bad, it is necessary to defend oneself. But it doesn't make either side free from its affects, effects and ills.

I decided that years ago.
Mainly because there is no talking to most people about it.
I would rather dance with the devil in the pale moonlight....

They did not chop their heads off or rape them etc. There is no moral equivalency here.

 

[Clizby Wampuscat]

Some wars are just. What some on the left don’t understand is you have to stand up to evil, letting evil flourish is immoral. Should Israel have instead tried to appeased Hamas?

 

[The Hammer]

Should Israel have instead tried to appeased Hamas?

I don't think people on the left disagree with standing up against evil.



But yes. I think there is always room for an attempt at diplomacy.

I support both.
This is an intentional view, one that
seeks focus upon solutions that serve all.
Nonetheless, I give greater responsibility
to Israel because it is the far greater
power, & doing the far greater killing
& destruction. Solutions will come
from Israel.

Still a very very awful thing to do to a human being

Well I support both and neither if ya know what I mean

Violence begets more violence. Always has, always will. Yet we never seem to learn this lesson.

 

[Revoltingest]

I sort of understand.
Support isn't the same as approval.
It means supporting goals that would eliminate things disapproved of.

 

[Quetzal]

I can equally condemn the terrorist acts of Hamas and the war crimes of Israel. My heart goes out to the innocents who are going to bear the majority of the loss.
