Patrick OConnell In recognition of the frustration you are feeling, I will support you Jenny, in that no person or group of people should ever be judged or prejudiced by their ideologies or faiths. However, I will say that I oppose what both the defiant and cowardly Hamas are doing with human shields (it is abhorrent), but also that Israel continues to bomb Gaza knowing human shields are being used. There must be a better way to defend without marginalizing an already marginalized group of our humanity. 7 hrs · Like Annie Nanou Cohen Patrick, when you come up with a better way be sure to share it with us please 7 hrs · Unlike · 1 Jenny Yechieli Annie...you took the words out if my mouth.... 30 mins · Like Jerome Henen EXACTLY - A PERFECT CASE OF NIMBYISM. 29 mins · Like Jerome Henen I hear what you are saying Patrick, but it is a choice between letting your own children be killed or undertaking the obligation every country has to protect them. Israel, like any other country, chooses to save its own children first. Just like you would do! Israel does not relish killing palestinians - in fact it goes out of its way to avoid it. Israel could easily flatten the whole of gaza. But they dont. Why. As Golda Meir famously said , we can forgive them for killing our children , but we cannot forgive them for making us kill theirs. Put the blame where it belongs - with HAMAS. It is easy to criticize when it is not you who is surrounded by murderous regimes who want nothing else but to slaughter you and eradicate your entire presence.Anti semitism is ugly. The jews who support Israel are not prepared to walk into the gas chambers again just to satisfy the wests skewed sense of justice.
