…am I the only one that can see two sides to this argument?
Most people seem to have a very polarised view - whichever way it is. Then name call if you don’t agree with them.
I am nether Xenophobic or racist and apart from wanting peace I have no vested interest.
I visited Israel years ago and saw for myself how the Palestinians are treated by Israel and on the whole it wasn’t good.
Hamas have been firing rockets for ages at Israel before this - and in reality for quite a period Israel were relatively reserved about it.
Then Hamas cross the border and go and kill many Israelis and kidnap a few hundred.
Now Israel are no angels and never have been, but Hamas to some respect escalated all this, so what did they expect Israel to do.
Israel were always going to wade in after what happened - have they gone to far???
Probably, but then again what we do if one of our neighbours kidnapped a few hundred Brits and started killing them.
Hell, we sailed an Armada around the world to rescue a few Islanders back in 82.
The point I am making here is both sides hear hold responsibility and it isn’t as simple as taking one side or the other - unless you are so intrenched in your opinions.
The Jewish people were treated horrendously (words don’t do justice here) in WW2, but for me it doesn’t mean they are above criticism on how they behave.
What’s the answers - well that’s above my pay grade!!!
…but what isn’t the answer, is this continuing as it is!!
