Well, this isn’t anything new or unexpected. The below video summarizes my sentiments on this situation (with a lot less rage and frustration). What an injustice Hamas is doing to it’s own citizens (as well as the people of Israel!)… it’s sickening. And now troublemakers in Lebanon are getting gutsy. It absolutely boggles my mind how the media can criticize Israel’s action as “disproportionate.” Having recently returned from visiting some areas which are now receiving rocket fire, I am amazed that anyone could speak out against Israel’s act of defending it’s civilians. The sound of a warning siren is not pleasant… and those in the south have been putting up with this terror for too long. I have come to know and respect many serving members of the IDF, and even participated in a 1 week army program. The maturity and restraint these young men and women exercise on a daily basis is honorable. I don’t have to think for more than a second to recognize the extreme difference in morality between the two forces fighting against each other at this moment in time. Strength and courage to you, IDF!
I will probably write something more detailed later (regarding this topic, and topics stemming from it) as I am now settled into my new residence.
