I mean, I am not on the side of a group from Palestine who made an act of terror that started this in the first place, but Israel has been known for doing bad things, apparently, being bad to the Palestinians and being bad overall. It does not help that the leader of Israel is...well, you know.
Feel free to tell me if I am missing anything. Still, I think Hamas made things worse for Palestine in different ways, making them look bad when not all the people there were actually involved in what happened in Israel not to long ago. Still, I dare say it is freaking madness that this is all happening, with actions from both sides, historically and present time, being bad.
I'd support the first nation to do something analogous to this to the entire Israel/Palestine area and tell everyone there "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things."
Then again, I suspect that even laying waste to both sides wouldn't teach either side anything.
Doesn't doing something like that (laying waste to other nations) ever teach people anything?
Not trying to be mean, but yeah, violence never really solves things. In fact, it can, and does make things worse.
I always thought people should be more civil and social about things. It may take a while to get things done, but it is far better than violence. Still, it is a shame people don't seem to do that well.
