All wars are brutal, ugly and inhumane. And it seems to me that that ugliness has impacted DU.

41. I get the emotion and share it, but your constant accusation of fellow DUers of being "HATE-FILLED"

or supporting Hamas or being anti-Semitic-- despite their every posted word stressing how horrified they are, how much sympathy they have for Israel/Israelis, and showing requisite anger toward the terrorist Hamas-- IF they likewise make the most innocuous comment showing concern for innocent Palestinian citizens. I can only believe that the turmoil, emotion, and resultant grief are causing you to have difficulty in this regard. For your own well-being, I hope you might take a break now and then and try to regain some perspective. DUers are not your enemy. In nearly all cases, this community is firmly in support of Israel. That does not extend to the indiscriminate extermination of innocent and trapped Palestinian citizens, rather than the targeted defeat/decimation of Hamas. If you find that level of concern for innocents a "both sides" argument rather than a basic tenet of humanity, then I would suggest a break is overdue for your own well-being.
