    eldarion, I don't condone blinders either - no matter who's defending whom.

    And yes, this whole thing (almost feels disrespectful calling this a "thing") is beyond appalling and sad and so very divisive.

    edited to address your first comment, eldarion - how it was written, seemed to expressly single out.

    It really is so easy to get caught up in the politics here and as much as the whole mess is terrible and appalling, the message of this thread was originally about having hope for peace, ending war, spreading love.

    Let's get behind those thoughts here and take the political volleys back to AMT where it is better suited.

    Yes please and thank you!

    wishing into the void wont do anything. We have to take action and write to our elected official and boycott israeli products until this stops.

    I'm OK with the political debate (and I have contributed to it) but I do think Brian makes a good point. There are several appropriate threads currently running on AMT for this discussion. Maybe it is time to move it there.

    I honestly believe Eddie was talking about much more than just this one conflict.

    Actually, it's not a war, it's a massacre. A war is when two armies are fighting. That's not the case in Gaza. What we have in Gaza is one of the most powerful military's in the World attacking a largely defenseless civilian population.

    Yeah...
    D'oh!
    Edited with apologies, Brian - I had typed out a response that began with the above but there was more and thought I'd saved it as a draft. Getting used to a new laptop and this mofo is challenging me! Anyway, the gist of what you said, agreed.

    So where exactly is the criticism towards Hamas? I think we have the criticism towards the Israeli government covered, and it's all.very valid... so now what about discussing the other side of the problem? I have a strong impression that somehow Hamas is getting a pass while everyone protests Israel.... this seems like a dodgy road to be taking. At what point does Hamas take this ball and run with it in directions that will freak you all out?

    Wow, that is some outstanding anti-Israeli propaganda right there.

    So seriously, do people really see stuff like this and let it affect their views on the subject? That is terrifying.

    My point exactly. Hamas spent years building a terror tunnel network instead of bettering the lives of their own people. How does one get to peace with a partner like that?

    hamas built those tunnels to sneak in much needed food and medical supplies according to some. I dont doubt that. Israel cut off their water and electricity, what do you want them to do?

    Very serious. In the world of social media those that are only slightly paying attention will be bombarded with images of various protests. Some of the images will be the "die-in's" and "the children being told to carry signs" that you are fond of. Some images will be of protestors attacking synagogues and businesses. Other images will be of boobs. People tend to gravitate towards boobs.

    Of course you don't doubt that. It's amazing that the Palestinians in the West Bank are surviving without a tunnel network.
