Is It Just Me Or Does Israel Seem Irrational
Israel marched right in with their land battle. I am so angry right now. Israel closed all of the roads leading into Gaza prior to the air attack – eight days ago.
Israel is not allowing all aid to get through to these people. The
Palestine’s are suffering, kids are being killed, and families are being destroyed.
One man said he had been a prisoner in his own home, just because, to go out would be a risk he was not willing to take for the sake of his life. He is there with two small children and only a couple of day’s worth of food.
Israel lies if, they say they want nothing more than the cessation of missiles into their land – missiles that are more psychological than deadly, because if they only wanted to stop the missile, they could have been more flexible with the border control, as well as the other controls they have over Gaza.
They make it seem as though they are honoring the people of Gaza by warning them of the intention to march in or to bomb, to this end, they launched flyers from airplanes warning the people of Gaza that they are coming in by land.
The reality of that is, with no money, little transportation, no where to run to, that warning serves little comfort.
Those people of Gaza are fenced into this area on at least 3 or 4 sides by
Israel. I believe Egypt is the only open road out of there, even if it’s not Egypt, there is only one road open to them to travel out of, while Israel controls the other three exits and Israel is only letting people in and out, when Israel wants to.
Yet, Israel wants the world to believe that this attack is not meant to hurt and destroy the people of Gaza. Indiscriminate air attacks, over a country where the people have no real way out because you have them fenced in, with control over the exits but you want the world to believe that your intention is, not to harm them.
Israel wants to be seen as justified and fair, but when you look at the total picture – Israel is WRONG and in telling their half truths, in an attempt to make the world see them as something akin to human towards the people of Gaza, they are turning my stomach and making me understand clearly why so many around Israel, do not get along with Israel.
Does the government of Israel fear for themselves because they know, in the corner of their collective souls, of their inhumanity, of the corruptness of their souls?
The lies and half truths I see them telling the world. The justification they have attempted to use as a reason for having taken 460 lives in eight days, makes me not believe anything they say. This shows me how irrational and controlling they have probably always been.
With the way Israel is acting, one of the biggest terrorist I have ever witnessed, they need to find a way to relinquish the borders, the airspace, the maritime, all of the power Israel has over the people of Gaza and the Palestinian people.
Israel is too much into power and control and will stoop to whatever they have to, in order to achieve that goal including lying in the face of the world.
How can you justify being so far out there, that you can not even see how irrational your actions are. Over four hundred and fifty people dead, men women, children and some Hamas. Israel will never get rid of all of the militant people, in fact through its actions; Israel is perpetuating the intensity of the feelings. And as the world looks on and attempts to be diplomatic, Israel is getting away with mass murder right before my eyes.
Unbelievable!!
And that’s the way I see it!!
Thank you for taking another look at a situation like this. Israel should not be given this long of a leash. They have provoked this situation just as much as Hamas has - only when Hamas did it, 4 people died. When Israel does it, hundreds die.
I’m not supporting Hamas’s actions, but I certainly understand their frustration. Israel was suffocating them economically, what do you expect?
Here’s the link for a Petition calling for a cease-fire, I signed it a few days back.

A very unfortunate situation. I suppose all of the taunting finally set them off. While I feel for the people, why did they think that constantly lobbing missiles would never result in retaliation? Hopefully both sides will come to their senses and put an end to the insanity.
Unfortunately, it seems that people associate all Jewish people throughout the world as being jointly responsible for the actions of the Israeli Government and army. Do people not get that Israel and the Jewish people worldwide are not one and the same thing? Not all Jews agree with this current negative action, far from it, but I have heard anti-semitic comments coming out of this latest course of events…deeply saddening and very scary to me.
