"To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.

This is good too and what I was speaking about....

highlander_5: 1)hamas get elected 2)Isreal shuts Gaza off and blocades them 3)hamas digs tunnels to run supplies in 4)Isreal refuses to lift the blocades 5)Hamas reverts to its old ways and launches rockets 6)Isreal Attacks
All this in my mind is Isreal's fault. If they hadn't blocked supplies from getting into Gaza none of this would have happened. One man lost 5 daughters. Now he has nothing...what do you think he is gonna do now? Suicide bomber.
Antjo39: Well, I will take your word and see if the Israeli state will be able to negotiate not with extremist political groups but just with people that have suffered a lot from the invasion of 1948 and the following wars. I hope to see that. Then I will believe the Israeli state is so civilised and peace-loving as you depict it.
Anwar Sadat and Menahem Begin!! These leaders came together and signed the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel which still stands today. Israel gave the Sinai back to Egypt in exchange for peace!! They both have my respect!!
Why aren't the surrounding countries that support Hamas help them out? Where is Jordan with all their wealth? Do they send food,or water?
I heard today on the news that Jordan new that there was going to be retaliation against Gaza, but did nothothing. Whining after the fact doesn't help.

Hey Zee....
Did anyone really believe Israel would not retaliate?
zeelanderer: Then why didn't anyone step in, slap the Hamas government around and say wake up or you ALL are going to die? I have no sympathy for stupidity.

Because at this moment in history it is probably more important to splash the bodies all over the international press to achieve exposure then the actual cost in blood flowing.....
Hasn't that always been the ultimate goal for terrorism?
Hamas is ready to set the whole world on fire if necessary so long as it eradicates Israel.....
except for this thread and a few people around the world.... I don't think anyone really cares who and how many die. Two years from now no one will even remember Hamas.

The truth is it's getting worse and worse. Each side is so inflamed about atrocities of the past that neither are rationally considering the cost in human lives
I suspect there will be no real winners if this conflict continues much further and it will spill over to anyone/any nation seen as providing support on either side. In fact, I honestly believe we are closer to witnessing a nuclear detonation than we have ever been.

Therein lies the problem...Why don't they care????
Nobody cares about fellow human beings dying...is the very crux and problem of these kind of wars....
