Intent to Kill

Laid out in considerable detail, this post explores what happened to the deceased Gaza activists.  This is an excellent example of a basic premise: if you want captives, send police; if you want corpses, send soldiers.  Their training is different, and you get what you pay for.

I do not consider Israel a civilized nation.  (I wish it would have been, but sheesh and baksheesh, Germany  is accruing beans faster on the civilized side of the scale.)  I sincerely wish that America would stop sending money there.  It is funding atrocities.  This costs America a lot of civilized beans.

Elizabeth, I am highly disappointed in you. I am Jewish and a Zionist and your comment is highly offensive to me. Israel has the right to exist and to defend itself. FYI, Israel is a very civilized nation, a very developed nation to say the least and there is enough evidence out there to prove this. This comment is made out of ignorance and hatred. Something I would have never expected from someone so well-read and so educated. My God, I am truly appalled.

I am sorry. Seriously. But I will unfriend you. There is nothing further I would like to read from someone with such views.

Of course you must do what you feel is appropriate,
but unfriending someone who holds such an opinion
will give you an increasingly insulated view of the world.

The Israeli action was undeniably brutal,
but in as much as Nebraska has never experienced rocket attacks
or suicide bombings carried out by Iowans,
I'm in no position to condemn the actions of a nation
living under such a threat and seeking to negate that threat.
