All I know is that I recognize the victim-blaming mentality of news outlets and political celebrities, and the defense of Hamas is sickening.
Civilians aren't Hamas , children aren't Hamas nor should they be held responsible for the actions of Hamas , people are free to highlight the plight of the civilians caught up in this barbarous conflict while not defending Hamas.

Even supporters of Palestine know that hiding behind civilians is a tactic by Hamas (a war crime, by the way). Palestine is not America; it's far from a free country. I feel terrible for the civilians, but Hamas doesn't hold the same moral value of human life as the western world. They would rather their children die for Allah than see them live. They would rather kill your children than kill their enemies if it furthers their political goal. You think Palestinians are free to leave? Really?

Do you really believe that there are not those in the western world that would kill your children to further their political goal?
The western world is no different when it comes to power and greed. They would kill their own mothers and their own children if it furthers their goals.
The East may look more barbaric in their methods, but the end results are the same. Dead is dead, whether you go out with a bang, or they kill you softly in your sleep.
Time to question yourself
Not to be antagonistic, but that was clearly an edited video and shows evidence of nothing. Also past the 24 hr warning.

So we support Israel because there are American Jews living there?

If those details add up to you as logical, then I just don't know what to say.
My passing observation, Israel is calling Hamas ISIS-like because it is the same agents Israel used to keep Syria in chaos for over seven years with Turkish and Arab assistance. Mossad also has agents within Hamas who are useful agitators. I wonder if these are some of the same agents that stirred up trouble in Syria while being treated for combat injuries in Israel?

Do you see this Muslim/Jewish war as just the prelims for the main event.
Will the Arab nations just take this lying down. What other alliances will the Arabs make?
I fear we won't have long to wait; Or else diplomacy will rule the day....lol.

I wonder if Hamas would use such archaic brutal methods if they had more sophisticated weaponry.
I don't think a weapons that wipes out whole cities less brutal than one that wipes out a single house.
I am not an isolationist, but I don't believe that this war is a righteous war, and that Israel shares as much blame, in things occuring the way they have.
We send trillions of dollars to Israel, right now I think that is more than enough. And while they may not be biting the hand that feeds them, there are many that have no love for Americans, especially if they are Christians.
There may be good people on both sides, but it is the rotten apples in the barrel that need to be removed. I don't believe the right course is to destroy the whole barrel.
