Israel
I am confused. Why are people upset with Israel ? If someone is throwing rocks at your house and causing damage and death and you go to all the neighbors and authorities asking for help and no one responds, so you take matters into your own hands and confront the bad neighbor. Then you have all the neigbors screaming that you are bad. I just don't get it. Where are the neighbors when the guy was killling and damaging with the rock throwing thing ? I think this is a terrible trajedy what is happening in the Middle East and perhaps Israel has responded too aggressively. I will leave that to the experts but here is what I do know. This mess is going to on and on until we reeducate all concerned and that means getting to the youth. Does Palestine really think that Israel is going to pack up and say okay, we are leaving. They are a military powerhouse and they are there to stay. Why can't the Palestinians accept that and go from there. Accept a land for themselves worked out by all concerned and get along with the business of living and finding happiness in life. Personally I think the Jewish people are a fantastic people. Look at all the medical advances that country has given us not to mention the arts. And of course Jesus was a Jew. One of the real culprits is Iran. They have this agenda that is skewed. Evidenced by what their leader says about no Holocaust. I always think about what I heard someone say one time. They have to love their children more than they hate their neighbor. Peace.

I am one who is upset with Israel. I DO get it. Remember that the modern day country of Israel was created after the end of WWII. A lot of people who had lived in this area had their lives displaced.
(Consider if the Native Americans in this country were given back your area of Florida and you and yours had to move. Would you be happy about this? Or willingly give you your land / homes/ and move elsewhere?)
I do think a lot of animosity goes back to the creation of the country of Israel after WWII on lands that others had inhabited. All of a sudden they were forced to move. Is that fair? Would making your family move from Florida be fair?
I am upset with Israel for escalating this situation. If they are God's chosen people, I don't understand how they can justify so much killing.
I do hope that the Middle Eastern countries will learn to live together in peace, but I don't see this happening. One thing that makes it more difficult is all the aid that the US gives to Israel...and all the weapons..and the US will never criticize Israel, though in this present situation I do believe that Israel is the country escalating.
Obama will have a full plate when he comes to the Presidency.
I do enjoy and appreciate your blog nd your opinions. I would be interested in any responses you have to my comments.
