Previous History and the Politics in that region aside, the killing of unarmed adolescents at a music festival is an unwarranted and cowardly escalation that Hamas will regret.
Oh the depravity being shown by these Hamas terrorists go far beyond that with the decapitation of babies, burning children to death, even killing pets, the list of their atrocities done by these savages turn the stomach.
Yes revenge won't fix the problem of the mindset of religious fanatics, but it might push them back into their lairs for a few more years !
Steve, that is terrible, I wasn't aware of these atrocities as I rarely watch MSM news these days, I spend most of the time watching Science and Military documentaries on Youtube etc. Tonight, I binge watched all the episodes of 'The Secret War' TV Series, then I decided to search Israel-Hamas on Youtube and watched the Music Festival attacks.
Did they have to hire armed guards because they were harassing Jewish students. The protests that have arisen (think there was one in New York City) celebrating what happened makes my blood boil.
I have always been a bit naive about the hate of the Jewish State?people?? I know Hitler blamed them for everything but he was a nut job but in today's world how is it we have College hate groups ( using some odd name to cover thier ***)...Harvard, Yale, Brown, Ivy league schools with some of the smartest folks, but yet they believe in such anti Semitic words, again I don't get it, I've never met a Jewish person who has hate or anger towards anyone, the Bible speaks of Israel as God's land, why would you want to attack a Country that is so connected with Jesus and our God??

I watch very little MSM myself as so biased these days.
You may find this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro-ERnn7-uo
of interest though and goes to explain a lot of the how. The why we already know I think !

Sorry to hear about your son's situation. It is absolutely outrageous that anyone has to go around in fear based on their religion or otherwise. In contrast, my daughter was home today from college and I asked her if she and her friends were following the events in Israel. What events? They don't watch the news. She had no clue. Apparently the students and professors don't discuss current events. They did hand out free smoothies for "mental health" day, though. They say ignorance is bliss, but maybe that is sometimes better than reality.
Thanks for the link Steve, strangely I got the impression this guy is not a fan of Israel.
However I tend to agree with his belief that this action was designed to provoke Israel into overreacting and bring other Muslim countries into a larger war.
Thank you to all those who posted kind words here. We may be a bit under-represented in miniature form, but I know a few of us here are Jewish (or married Jews), and it means a lot to hear support from the community.
