This morning’s Wall Street Journal said that we have not
seen the world in this big of a mess since the 1970s…I agree, we have a lot of
shit going on.
The current clash between Hamas of Gaza and Israel is on a
list of hot button issues but this issue still confounds me…
I hear from my wife about how innocent Palestinians are
being killed by Israeli bombs and how that needs to stop and I also see on the
local news protesters from the Middle East holding up anti-Israeli signs
demanding a stop to the slaughter.
When I ask why Hamas does not stop shooting rockets into
Israel all I get is that those rockets have not killed anyone in Israel and that
is a sane answer…really?
Three Jewish teenagers were killed by some Palestinians
followed by the murder of a Palestinian teen as retaliation and we now have
over 200 dead Palestinians and more to come…why?
Why is Hamas shooting rockets into Israel and why do people
in the Gaza Strip support the insane actions of Hamas at least those
interviewed on TV.
Why do women wail on TV at the sight of dead children after
an Israeli bombing attack even though enough warning was given by the Israelis
to evacuate the area; are they trying to look like martyrs? Do they want
sympathy from the world but for what; they are responsible for their own
conditions; their choices are what put them into this dire situation.
Even though my wife supports the Palestinians she also
agrees with me that they are the cause of their own woes.
The fact that the rockets Hamas is firing into Israel will
not do any damage and Hamas knows that and that is very telling as to what
their motives could be for doing that. They know Israel will retaliate with
force and possibly an invasion and yes, they want that to happen…why?
In my many arguments about this issue I keep asking what the
people of Gaza / Hamas want to happen in the end. What is it that will make
them happy enough to stop attacking and antagonizing Israel?
Well it seems Hamas wants this status quo to go on in
perpetuity. Every few years they start a war with Israel, Israel bombs the hell
out of them, money pours in to help them rebuild and the cycle starts all over
again.
Is this a way to live? Would you not want a country of your
own that you can prosper in, have the freedom to travel, raise a family without
constant fear and have a realistic future?
Eventually, Hamas will build rockets or as seen today,
drones that actually can do serious damage to property and life in Israel. When
that happens, Gaza and its inhabitants will have to be eliminated by deporting
them to Muslim countries that will take them and the Gaza Strip will be settled
by Jews who will eliminate the problem that is Gaza today.
Does that sound like a solution the people of Palestine
want? Once again, it is all up to them.
