News & Politics QotD: Israel-Hamas Conflict
What is your take on the Israel-Hamas conflict?
" In my opinion Islam and Islamic groups are military political organizations first and should be treated as such. They should not be considered like other religious groups or religions. The reality of all opinions should be based on *"what you do is what you are, not what you say." Islam says one thing but the reality is something completely different. The slaughter of innocents by Islam since the time of Mohamet is well documented and seems to have no end in sight. We as a people, in no way, can participate, encourage or be silent to the continuation of a system of mass murder by self serving individuals. Hamas is no different!

These people have been treated dreadfully over decades and now they are bombarded by Israel to make their plight even worse. However none of that is an excuse for the daily launching of indiscriminate rockets and mortars that has gone on for the last few years against the civil population of Israel, by Hamas.
Israel has no choice but to stop this reign of terror. It is sad to say, but the world would be more sympathetic to Israel's position if one of these missiles had destroyed a school or hospital with a large number of deaths, in Israel. Meanwhile Hamas fires from the cover of homes and schools and Israelie fire is returned with the resultant civilian casualties. It seems inevitable, from world opinion, that Israel will become the pariah of the world, for trying to protect itself.
