The murder of thousands is hard to imagine, but the murder of a single person can illustrate what is happening.
I read the story of a German-Israeli girl who flew in from Germany in order to attend the ‘rave in the desert for peace’ music festival.
There she was kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists and taken to Gaza, where she was beaten, gang raped, paraded online, and murdered.
And, on top of all that, her naked corpse was dragged through the streets while ‘peaceful’ Palestinians celebrated her death by dancing around, taking pictures, and spitting on her dead body.
Now multiply that atrocity by tens, hundreds, and even thousands. And at least 120 civilians (many women and children) taken hostage (per Hamas), to possibly be killed on Palestinian television (again, per Hamas).
These horrific crimes cannot be justified for ANY reason and the Israeli government is fully justified in taking whatever actions it deems necessary to prevent this from happening ever again.
Unfortunately John, you don't know the history. This is a blood-lust feud that goes back 2,000+ years. It has never ended. Study the history like I've done for the last 60 + years. But most impotant, study the 20th Century history and what the East European 'colonizers' did to the native Arabs of Palestine, then you will better understand what a blood-lust feud is. There has never been a resolution of the issue...and there never will be. Innocent men, women, and children are sarificed as in a ritual to perpetuate the blood-lust. The Torah, the Talmud, and even the New Testament reek of blood-lust.
So, getting all emotional and making statements of disgust and blame mean nothing, because they emanate from ignorance: what goes around, comes around. Or, as Paul said: As you sow, so shall you reap. The wheels of karma never stop turning.
I am well aware of the history sorry but don’t condone terrorist attacks and especially the killing of innocents
