F'ing Savages...
Remember that Redbrick and others actually believe that these atrocities are justified because.... the Jews
Muslims are just evil. This is what their dear leader Mohammad did, and he bragged about it. He was a butcher, a pedophile, and a war monger... according to his own words. Every muslim will tell you that Mohammad is their example. If they truly believe that, then it is logical for them to eventually follow in his footsteps and become an animalistic savage as well. The peaceful muslims are the ones who are ignorant of the teachings of Islam. If they ever truly study the Koran, they will either leave the religion or become evil themselves.
You are basically an Iranian Cleric. Thinking that Christians haven't spent the last 2 thousand years doing the same stupid **** is mind blowing. Sooner religion can be wiped off the planet and replaced with critical thinking the better.
Recent experiences with Stalin and Mao trying to remove religion says otherwise.
People are capable of terrible atrocities all over when their world view allows it. And then what do you do with those who commit atrocities and support them? That is the hard part of trying to stay civilized. When and how does forgiveness kick in?
If in a defensive war, is there much choice but to fight until the other side fights no longer?
What actions are acceptable in war?
How do common citizens really know if they are the ones attacked first? (Hopefully our news sources remain open enough to make it discernable.)
In this case of Gaza vs. Israel, it is clear that the actions of Hamas have crossed a line that will provoke many civilian deaths as they retreat to a very urban environment to hide. What will be acceptable for Israel to do in rooting out the aggressors? What will other nations do to cut off Hamas? What nations will continue to support Hamas, and how should they be dealt with?
Lots of looming questions with answers based in morality that will shake out even more questions of right and wrong.
