Israel
I propose this question to you, UPN, as it evidently appears to be causing controversy: Is what Israel is doing by bombing the Gaza strip the past few days acceptable, or would you consider it over the line due to the amount of civilian casualties?
Personally, I don't see how it's a black and white issue - Hamas has been firing from Gaza inti Israel for quite a while before Israel decided they weren't going to take it anymore, and now they've poked a polar bear in the eye and are wondering why it wants to eat them. I wouldn't call myself someone who usually sides with Israel, but I feel like it's no different if Mexico started firing missiles at Dallas one day, or Canada at Minneapolis. Of course we as a country would retaliate, so I guess the question then becomes "How much is too much?", but it seems many people feel Israel shouldn't have even retaliated in the first place, or started the bombing first. So how do you feel about this?

Well, it's no secret that I am fairly anti-Zionist. That said, some level of retaliation was going to follow, of course. That said, however, I do not in any way condone the escalation.
Might type up a better, more detailed response later. |
