Israel and Hamas are both guilty of the same thing. But like I always say, Israel does it on a much larger scale. And my tax ($3 billion a )help pay for these bombs and weapons. This pisses me off.
To me, it looks like the piece is saying... "why the double standard?"
And given then that both sides are wrong, do not then both sides get punished? and who is responsible for judging the crime and the punishment?
The reasoning we apply to individuals cannot be applied to states, countries or even religions. That is what makes the situation complicated. Because at some point one sides set of rights is decided to supersede the others.
Does the militants right to fight its war against Israel supersede the Israeli populations right to not live in fear of attack?
Does the Israeli right to defend against those attacks, or respond to them, supersede the right of Palestine to exist also without fear of attack and under its own choices?
A more important question..does the right of those who feel it is their right to inflict violence on others, no matter the repercussions to those around them, (Israeli or Palestinian) supersede the right of those who do not want to be involved in that violence in any way, and live without threat?
Does Israel have the right to deny Palestine existence? Does Palestine have the right to deny Israel existence?
Its all about each others right to revenge by this point isn't it.
And until that ends, the troubles won't.
You cannot forgive one side because the other side was more severe. Not least as severity, and even right and wrong, sem to differ in the region greatly according to whose point of view you look at it from.
It was an interesting debate, but I don't think anything is going to be solved by us sadly.
The same way I don't think anything will be solved by continued violence in the region.
Nor by biased viewpoints from either angle...the worldwide media has much to answer for in the conflicts, as do people around the world who intentionally fund the violence in this region and others like it.
In the end its all about power, and they need to find the power in themselves to stop it peacefully.
we must stand in open mind for humanity...
peaceful balance must be achieved.
