    The message is obvious. “If somebody hurts you, then any revenge is permissible, even against people whose only sin is living near them. Even if children are starving to death, it’s okay if it’s revenge.”

    The lack of humanity in Israel’s actions is simply hard to comprehend.

      At this point I wouldn’t be surprised the attack was staged by Israel to be able to take the rest of the Gaza strip.

      Well, have a look in the old Testament, specifically Leviticus 24:17-22.

      19 If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him, 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.

      You know the part that is shared between Christianity and Judaism.

        That’s “an eye for an eye,” which is already horrible, but is not an escalation. Israel is escalating, “a genocide for a single attack.”

        And if you think about it, it makes NO sense, as humanity would have to destroy themselves too finally get even. Then there’s one person left, who won the game. Now it’s game over. So dumb.
