And that's all I have to say about that!

I will make this short and to the point.

Apparently some people don't know when I am kidding and when I am serious, so let me make myself perfectly clear on this issue.

Over the course of the last year, Hamas and other Palestinian groups have fired over eight thousand (8,000) rockets and mortars into Israeli populated areas from the Gaza strip.

Until this last week Israel has shown remarkable restraint but when enough is enough they took action.

They are now in the process of bombing Hamas strongholds in the Gaza and trying to rid the area of these fanatics and yet there is universal condemnation around the Arab world against what they are calling "aggression" and "genocide!"

Listen folks, there is enough blame to go around in the Middle East, but when Israel does rise up in self defense they are to be applauded, not condemned.

War is hell no matter who is involved. There would be everlasting peace in Palestine/Israel if all people on both sides were to convert to Zoroastrianism, Wicca, Scientology or Mormonism. There are many religions to choose from, any one of which would do if only everyone would agree on which one.

I try to stay out of debates that I know little about. I tend to agree with you on this though.

Okay...what is Zoroastrianism? Does it have anything to do with worshiping a statue of Zorro? There is no chance of peace irregardless of any religion. Yesssss....this sounds so negative but the Hamas broke the truse............Hamas is a bottomless hole that needs the foot of Israel to fill it. May the new year bring peace for the Israelis and a sunset that will never rise for Hamas again.
