(2,613 posts)Hamas military targets using innocent Palestinians as human shields and your meme changes meaning.
Military targets will be attacked. Innocents will die, this can be immediately remedied by Hamas evacuating civilians from their bases.
My prediction... after the ground offensive winds down and independent inspectors examine the aftermath and Hamas' destroyed infrastructure, and after they interview hundreds if not thousands of civilians, the truth will come to light.
It may be the supporters of Israel were right in their judgement, it may be the antiwar people who will be proven right or it may be a combination of both.
It may be debated for decades to come. But what is a fact is Hamas has stated publicly on various media outlets that it will continue to attack Israel as long as Israel exists and that they cannot be trusted with any ceasefire since they are the ones who broke a ceasefire to brutality torture and murder innocent children, women and men.
'Never again' is part of Israel's doctrine and is deeply ingrained in their culture. Millions of dead over the centuries will do that to a culture.
They didn't initiate this, but sure as hell will finish it.
My eldest daughter and her husband are Jewish, so I understand the fear and anger they feel now because of the extremists world wide.
I stand with Israel. I stand with my daughter, and I stand with the families of the victims of Hamas.
