War To The Bitter End
So says the Israeli defense minister, Ehud Barak. The Hamas will not give in easily, and neither will Israel fold that fast. The outcome can only be horrible. I can mention the countless civilians dead on both sides, but it is nothing new. It only gets more sad. Does Barak actually think that continued violence will settle the issues? It has not worked for decades, so why not try it for another few decades? I like that logic. It will not work, but I like it. I can go on a rant about peace and negotiations, but once again, that is nothing new.
The White House is asking for the Hamas to stop the attack and agree to a cease-fire. Easier said than done. Does it seem like the Israeli army really wants to quit so soon? One attack leads to a counterattack, and that leads to another in retaliation, creating a chain. The White House needs to do more than just telling the Hamas to stop.
What a terrible tragedy. 1400 wounded, 360 dead… One family lost five of its children in the bombings. When is the U.N. going to step in?
The U.N. is spineless in my opinion. When have they done anything good when people really needed them? They just sit on the sidelines until the worst is over and clean up the mess. It is in their charter to intervene for humanitarian reasons but they fail to do so. Sadly they are just going to continue this tradition.
I don’t know how you fix this situation but a political leader with some courage on both sides needs to undo this cycle of violence. There is no reason that innocent people should be bombed and killed in the name of security, this only makes the problem worse.
The UN will step in just as soon as they finish dealing with Darfur…oh wait.

The UN, what are they going to do? They have a horrible history of doing nothing or doing little, and then too late. Look at the UN’s record, Bosnia- F, Somalia- F, The whole continent of Africa- FFFFF, Iran- F. Is that enough? The tragedy also is how this whole conflict has been viewed and written up in the media. The media’s ability to stoke the flames of Jewish hatred have never been more clearly obvious. We havent learned a thing from the holocaust-not one lesson. And that is the saddest thing of all- 6 million or more lives lost due to the same flawed ideology used by Iran, most muslims, and Hamas.
To clearly state you are going to wipe out a complete race is insanity at the highest level. The Jewish people are faced with the knowledge that many groups are trying to obliterate them. So sad. Long live the people of God.
