Reading this peace of news on Reuters just frustrates me. These people dont know the meaning of being grateful or content. And I'm not talking about Israel.
They should have been happy that Israel finally, after many years, agreed to pull out of Gaza. And it is understandable that they wanna build a fence, coz after all they've been invaded by ruthless suicide bombers. So now they've pull out and finally committed to a truce. But once the truce ended, militants in Gaza launches missiles into Israeli territory...what the heck?! Give them an inch, and they want a mile!
And so understandably, Israel has to respond to protect it's citizens and cities...and now Gaza has people dead coz you militants were being irresponsible and childish...you think this is a game? And then you dare rally all the people around the region to say that Israel is being unfair and unreasonable to the Palestinians? How about peaceably coming up with another truce? What about diplomacy? Isnt it more important that your people live in peace and are able to populate, grow, be productive, and prosper? Gosh!
Israel has been an independent country for more than 50 years now, and all they want is to be in peace and have some place to call their homeland. The decision to accord independence to Israel was agreed upon in an international treaty. For 2000 years, the Jews had no place to call home after being displaced by Romans, and now they got back what generations had only dreamed of. You militants are the selfish ones that wanna hold back what rightly belongs to them! For generations you lived in another people's heritage, you should be grateful. Instead, you fight and threaten to keep a territory that does not rightly belong to you. It's like a tenant refusing to move after being informed by the landlord. Instead of vacating, the tenant fights and claims the property for himself. What logic is that? You think it's going to be given to you just like that?
Oh I know there's gonna be all kinds of response to this post...and many will say it's coz I'm so pro-Israel. Whatever. I'm writing this not from the perspective of a pro-Israel, Jew-supporting-Christian, but just using logical reasoning. If you got back what you've been denied for a thousand years, then it's logical to want to keep it at all costs. If you're attacked, it's human nature to retaliate, defend, and to disable the threat. If you're being stupid, you get what you asked for.
It's time these militants realize how much harm they're doing to themselves. Gee whiz, and to think they'd realize by now.
