Here's what people don't talk about much. Before this most recent military action against Palestine, the murder of Israeli's was celebrated in the middle east. Every time a suicide bomber detonated himself or herself and killed civilians, many middle eastern nations celebrated. Parades were held for the 'martyrs' that killed the impure Jewish civilians. Is this right of course not. BUT WHY WON'T ANY OF THE ANTI-ISRAELI POSTERS EVEN ADMIT THAT HAMAS' ACTIONS ARE AND WERE HORRIBLE AS WELL?!?! You don't have to be supportive of Israel's current actions to condemn Hamas and terrorists' actions
You mean just like these populations celebrated on 9/11, or 7/7?
You are talking about a minority who believe that actions against other religions/populations is acceptable.
Not all of these people think in this way.
I have freely and openly agreed that the actions of Hamas are not acceptable either.
But, that does not justify the actions taking place right now against Gaza.
It makes me sick to my stomach that any people would celebrate the deaths of others. And yes, I agree that it does seem to be certain nations that believe this to be acceptable. But for that you have to go back to religious belief again.
All organized religion propagates hatred of another. It uses indoctrination and brainwashing to control the masses. This is what you are seeing when you have thousands of people celebrating the deaths of others.
There are only two options here. One is to disconnect entirely from such nations, which isn't practical. The other is to manage as best as possible through a long period of developing ties and moderate practices.
Tolerance of beliefs and ways of life are a better option than isolation and, therefore, continuation of the status quo.
Personally, I long for the day when we can all detach from every organized religion. When we all have every religious belief in every country but kept to a personal belief rather than this insane desire to make everyone the same as us. But that's not likely to happen.
