Israel

Peace through prayer was too much to hope for. Hamas will be sorry if not already. Israel has a right to exist and have peace for it’s citizens.

The war is not likely to stop soon. The Palestine children should be allowed to leave.

There is speculation Israel and the USA should have known Hamas would do this. I firmly believe the attack by Hamas was due to Israel’s citizens praying at the Temple Mount also known as “Al-Aqsa Mosque”

To many in the world the Temple Mount should be a place of worship for everyone. For Hamas and other Muslims the “Al-Aqsa Mosque” is for worship by Muslims only and any other worship is sacrilege. When Israel’s citizens prayed on the holy days that resulted in increased tensions with Hamas enough to begin war.

It was an unexpectedly severe reaction by Hamas. There was no previous intelligence. It was spontaneous. The failure in knowing is only to expect such a severe reaction. Such a response was not anticipated. 

People were praying. Praying. That deserved this?
