Massacre in Gaza!!!

Wikipedia defines "Massacre" as:

Massacre, the deliberate and intentional killing of a large number of human beings, under circumstances of atrocity or cruelty, or contrary to "the usages established among civilized peoples" (International Humanitarian Law term from the Martens Clause).

There's 1.5 million people living in Gaza(125 miles long/3 miles wide):


Ok, so if your trying to destroy your "enemy"(Hamas in this case), within that size of a space with that many people living in it, don't you think you might kill a lot of civilians?

Israel says Hamas does not accept Israel. Does Israel accept Palestine? I think not.
Israel has been systematically forcing the people of Palestine to the brink of starvation and making life so unbearable that they hope they will leave or give up any hope of having their own land and freedoms. Now Israeli is just saying fuck going slowly, let's just destroy them. Both "sides" have a long way to go in changing their policies for a just peace but the control is completely in Israels hands.


Can you really kill everyone to have peace? Does Israel really want peace or do they just want to own the entire area (Israel/Palestine)? Are Palestinians any less human than anybody else?

I'm sorry for the picture below but it can't be denied:

Kids these days!

There's no better way to get straight to the heart than being with a young one. In a world of either us or them, good or bad, enemy or friend; just spend 5 minutes with a child and you realize how dumb it is that us "adults" can't learn to love each other. Sounds corny but I think it's true. Just check out some of the following sites to see the yout dem from New Orleans to Palestine:


A mother from Gaza writes about her daily life raising her son Yousuf with a healthy sense of humor.

Or a group of introspective Israeli soldiers standing up for what they see as an illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories.


"Promises"", a film about Israeli and Palestinian youth and the bonds they form:




It's up to us, the grown-ups, to lead our children in a more positive manner. It's not about taking any sort of moral high ground but rather as I see it, a realistic approach to sustaining our planet.

A fellow named Avraham Burg was featured in today's New York Times and was quoted as saying about Israel (which can be applied anywhere), “If we do not establish modern Israeli identity on foundations of optimism, faith in humans and full trust in the family of nations, we have no chance of existing.”
