Israel

On October 7 of this year Hamas terrorists without any provocation attacked Israel killing innocent civilians including women and children. Israel was caught off guard by this attack and very shortly got its act together and retaliated by attacking the Hamas strongholds in Gaza. Oh, I forgot to mention that the Arabs too over 200 people as hostages.

Israel started to bombard Gaza while also sent in troops. In the retaliatory attack civilians lost their lives in Gaza. Hamas did not care about the lives lost and the damages their action caused in their own environment, they just kept up fighting and resisting.

It was interesting to see how fast world opinion turned against Israel and made the people of Gaza the innocent victims of this war. Demonstrations in every country broke out on the side of the Palestinians but never on the side if the Israelis. Governments all over, including this one are sending aid packages to the poor suffering Palestinians who would at their first chance turn against Israel.

Yes, many Palestinians died as the result of this engagement but that is the price of every war that is what they call collateral damage. During WWII the Americans or the British or the Russians regularly bombed Budapest. There was absolutely no military force in that city so why bombing? After some of the air raids I did see the bombed out apartment buildings where people died under the rubbles. How come the world never complained or demonstrated at that time?  

We live in a very interesting time. People protest against any thing many times just for the sake of protesting without looking at the morality of the cause. This is disturbing but there is nothing anybody can do about it. 

Israel probably is strong enough on its own but since the US and many countries always announce that they are the friends of Israel and stand ready to help it would be nice to see some unconditional help. The way I see it any cease fire just help Hamas to reorganize themselves and get ready for the next invasion. Short of wiping them off the face of the earth there is no solution.
