A ceasefire in Gaza

That is a noble idea if it weren’t unilateral.

Every human being in this world that wants sincere peace, including and especially the Jewish and Palestinians of the civilized world, is opposed to the violence being witnessed with and by Israel. What is difficult to see is the relentless hatred that exists with a chronic war paradigm established and maintained by Iran of incredibly powerful terrorist networks.

Israel’s IDF is not killing just to kill out of hatred or anger. Israel is moving into Gaza to stop an extremely powerful terrorist organization that will not relent. Why is it that civilization only sees Israel’s ability to defend itself without seeing the violence that is ongoing? As the IDF is moving into Gaza members of that defense force are dying in the fight. This is not a matter of a ceasefire that will be honored by all parties including other terrorist organizations like Islamic Jihad. A ceasefire is not possible if it is unilateral. That is not a ceasefire. That is surrender.

There will be peace in time when the terrorists are contained and order is established. Will there be continued unrest? Yes. There will still be those that hate and will seek to kill, but, they will no longer be armed with rockets and other weapons of war. Peace will have a chance to exist as generations pass.

This war is not about hatred of Israeli against Arabia. That is not the cause of this war. This war is about hate and who is wielding it. This war is to end the hate not propagate it.

Hamas is not Palestine. Hamas and the other terrorist organizations are Iranian backed militias. Is Iran calling for peace? Is Iran remorseful in it’s hatred of Israel and empowerment of terrorist networks? 

The ceasefire in the Middle East that the civilized world is calling for is complicated and far more than laying down arms. It has to be enforceable. The civilians in Gaza need to leave as it is impossible to rescue them because the terrorists have control of the land they are standing on. Israel does not have control, violent Palestinians and others have  control. The civilian lives are not regarded as important by those in control. The civilians are a tool to Hamas as if only Israel is the perpetrator of their fate.

Israel is not killing in anyone’s name. Israel is acting in it’s own defense. Yes, it’s defense is a strong offense that includes leveling buildings used as fortresses of war by terrorists. There are no attacks on hospitals or humanitarian efforts. 

I am sorry reality is so hard, but, ending the ability of terrorists to continue to kill is not a simple police action. This is a war.
