Your compassion oozes from every pore but is superficial and born of fantasy. The killing need never have started. It could stop tomorrow. Let Hamas return such of the hostages as still survive, lay down weapons, declare an end to genocidal agendas and join those working towards peaceful co existence. Of course that scenario would be unacceptable to adherents to three agendas. Firstly the political imperialism of Islamism masquerading as religion which demands the subjugation of the Jews and the re conquest of all land formerly in Allahs ‘Caliphate.’ Secondly the ‘progressive left’ which can’t tempt the proletariat back from its package holiday in Majorca so has co-opted the Palestinian cause as its perfect victim fit in the ‘oppressor/victim’ pathological worldview. And thirdly the bleeding heart ignoramuses, several of whom dive in on this Forum, who have scant knowledge of the complex history of the area and have no real interest in learning more. For them its enough to generate the dopamine hit of faux outrage and signal their virtue not only to those who might flag a ‘Thanks’ to a ‘correct’ post … but especially to themselves.
Now I prepare for the ‘incoming’ …. but I firmly believe that my assessment is true and therefore …it needs saying.
