Conflict is a part of human nature. I argue with my wife. Nations have differences. Warfare is conflict raised to the most violent and decisive level. We must all study it, else we make the same mistakes again. All wars are unique. Like fingerprints. It is easy to draw incorrect lessons from prior conflict.

Every country in this world should go on the same day to a sacred place in their land and bury every weapon. Then, on that day, every year after, we will remember.
And every man, woman and child might live in harmony.
And into ploughshares beat their swords,
We shall study WAR no more.
You might say I’m a dreamer…. but, I’m not the only one.

In reading the post I noted that while Iisrael is defending itself from mostly bombs that have not detonated or are so small in comparison to the attack planes etc. I ask? If Hamas had larger bombs and all exploded killing people including children would they stop sending them into Israel or praise Allah. On the subject of Hamas I ask is it true that part of their platform calls for total destruction of Israel. I would love and do pray for peace in your land. I would be extremely happy to live for the day when people of all faith make trips to the Holy Land without any fear.

As stated above: HAMAS is the legal government of the Palenstians in GAZA. The HAMAS led government allowed a cease-fire to expire and opened fire. (However ineffectively)

This is a formal resumption of hostilities of a government upon another government. The U.S. has been involved in a number of openly declared wars such as this. (War of 1812, Mexican-American War, The U.S. Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II.

Generally in wars of this type, civilians are avoided if possible. However, if they get in the way, TOUGH. The fire bombing raids upon Japan and the submarine campaign against the Japanese merchant marine were deliberate attacks upon civilians. Not to mention the atomic attacks. And consider that all of this was because Japan destroyed ONLY 2 battleships and killed only 2500 of our men. The U.S. lost around 40,000 KIA in the Pacific theater 1941-1945. We killed around 1.5 MILLION Japanese. This mis-match in killed does not tell us who the bad guys were. It does not tell us who was responsible. It does not tell us who the ‘warmongers’ were. All it tells us is what side was better at it.

I am in noway stating right or wrong , but need to ask a question: If there were bombs being fired into your country how would you retaliate?

Dear Razan, can you please delete my previous post and use this one instead, I found many typos in the previous one.

I would like to thank you for insightful article, and I would like to add to your second point about the claim that Israel is defending itself from rockets, that there are no rockets launched towards Israel from West Bank, and yet people in West Bank are killed, arrested and losing their homes and many other crimes. Few weeks ago, settlers in Hebron started to burn Palestinians homes and cars and shooting Hebron citizens because the Israel court ordered them to evacuate a Palestinian home they stole from a Palestine over there.

I would like also to talk to your readers about the ridiculous excuses Israel is using to justify the killing of Palestinians. Yesterday Israel killed five girls in their beds while sleeping. They justified this killing by saying that a mosque near their home was used as gathering for hamas supporters (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/five-sisters-killed-while-they-slept-1216224.html)

For God sake, mosques are places were Muslims do their prayers, or do consider every Muslim a Hamas supporter?

Liing here in Canada, I am so appreciative to be able to read perspectives from people in your area. I hope that people in Israel protest this`monstrous violence on the part of their government.
I am trying to get through to my government, but they seem to be on holidays.Holidaze.
Might makes right?
