		<description>It breaks my heart to realize that Hamas has openly declared its will to destroy the State of Israel. Unless the right authorities intervene, more chaos will ensue.

What do you say to the Hamas official stance to wipe all Israelis of the face of the earth?.... how is that peaceful? Just because Israel can cause more damage is there action worse than Hamas firing rockets in to civilian areas?</description>

		<description>Decembre.

To clarify something (if I was studdering?)
I blame ONLY the Israeli state in this conflict. To call for a mutual cease-fire is to equate the executioner and the victim. If you feel like arguing my stand-point you are welcome to do that.

However, you must realise that israelimom is not the Israeli government. She cannot be blaimed for the atrocities done in Gaza as we write, she can only be adressed at that wich she is doing. And that is bloging on the subject from her point-of-view.

Israelimom as well as you and I are morally responsible for this conflict and we are morally obliged to end it by any means necessary.</description>

		<description>Maryam,

I am sorry if you find my analysis painful. I mean to cause no one no pain. I share your pain for the people of Gaza too. In fact, I began typing a comment here, but I feel it&#039;s worthy of a post in its own right.

Decembre, I hope it will answer some of your questions as well.</description>

		<description>Dear Israeli Mom,

Your analysis is as painful as the bombs, you justify what has no justification.

This is not about politics or rationalizing to show how smart we all are. This is covering the hearts of all of us, as witnesses, of a thick darkness. And your rationalization is part of this darkness, in your intent to justify the killing of hundred of innocents with no mercy. This is not the first time this happens in the history of humanity, but it is becoming more and more difficult to manipulate the truth. If you enjoy going around in circles creating debates and finding solutions to terrorism (which by the way, nobody has found yet), go ahead. But don&#039;t disguise the truth, what is happening leaves no room for doubts.</description>

		<description>...Do you really need the graphic videos to realize it’s hell over there?....IM

Can&#039;t live without it.

....Unlike many Israelis, I don’t even think that these people support Hamas or its actions against Israel....IM

You&#039;re too kind. 

...Why not just declare that they will from now on move to political pressure, and stop shooting rockets - it’s as simple as that, and all of this bloodshed will cease....

Ok so they just have to admit they were wrong and israël will stop killing their family and friends ? 
And what after that ? Will Israël make a proper accusation in a Court of Justice or will it shoot them right away like it is doing now without having to proove who through the artisanal bombs ?</description>

		<description>Maryam, I am not sure which philosophy you are referring to. I&#039;ve said countless times that I hurt for the people of Gaza. Nobody has a monopoly over feeling sorry about human beings suffering. 

Note, that at no point did I even try to compare the suffering going on in Gaza today with that of the Israeli civilians living in the south. To quote my husband, I would rather lose a leg than be living in Gaza (and that goes for &quot;regular&quot; times too - not just during the current clashes). My point is that the suffering was brought on these people by Hamas. It&#039;s not really a philosophy - more like an analysis.

@ decembre -
Do you really need the graphic videos to realize it&#039;s hell over there? 
I don&#039;t, tyvm. It&#039;s not just the blood and body parts either - it&#039;s hundreds of thousands of children, emotionally scarred. I am not sure which is worse, btw. What really makes my stomach turn is thinking about the parents living in Gaza, having to take care of their babies and children at a time like this. My heart goes out to them.

Unlike many Israelis, I don&#039;t even think that these people support Hamas or its actions against Israel. Some do, probably, but others don&#039;t. They all suffer though, regardless of their opinions. Is it really worth it? Whatever weird kick they get to their national pride from shooting those silly rockets really worth all of this? Why not just declare that they will from now on move to political pressure, and stop shooting rockets - it&#039;s as simple as that, and all of this bloodshed will cease.</description>

		<description>.....Israel must respect the UN resolutions...Egyptian Father!

Here is a video on an attack on the 3rd. If you think your hearth can survive this atrocity, take a look.

		<description>Israeli Mom,

You are trying to get attention into your ideas and your philosophy in a situation where any human being from any nationality, race or religion should feel this is unacceptable.

Get your piece of cake and justify the dead of so many innocents, I hope one day the veil of ignorance will fall and then you will be ashamed to read your own words.</description>

		<description>Thank you for that last comment, bouhamza - that was nice to see before going to bed. You know, while waiting for the kids to finish their classes this afternoon, I&#039;ve been thinking this over. I was thinking how many of the people commenting on this blog are actually people with whom I probably have a lot in common. We are all anti-war, in a sense, and hoping for peace, so it&#039;s a great place to start. 

I think the problem is that at times of war, people get more emotional. I know I sure do. It  brings out a patriotic streak that is usually more subdued. Normally, I&#039;d be the left-winger here, arguing with the Israeli right-wingers and to some extent, saying the things that you and other commenters are saying ;)</description>
