(un)Holy War(?)

[eumelia]

Let's get a few things straight shall we.

Arrogance?
Israel, check.
Hamas, check.

Disregarding civilians life?
Hamas, check.
Israel, check.

Using said civilian life in order to push forward an aggressive militant agenda?
Israel, check.
Hamas, check.

Hawkish propaganda?
Hamas, check.
Israel, check.

I could go on, but really to what end?
The really big, huge, flippin' enormous difference between Hamas and Israel?
Israel has way, waaaaay bigger guns and are using them with impunity and immunity.
Hamas is calling for suicide bombing because those are the weapons they have.

I think Hamas are arrogant, fanatical abusers.
Then again, I think much the same about the Israeli government.

Thing is, you can twist this around all you want, and try to create a symmetrical situation. It's not.
There is, however, a deeper more ethical issue.
Israel controls all the borders (bar the one with Egypt, which *thmbs up* to you Egypt, glad to see you making a stand), seas and air of Gaza. Israel controls everything that goes in and out of Gaza... as terrible as it is, Gaza depends on Israel and Israel softly began killing the Gazans during the seige which began because the government didn't approve of Hamas being elected by the silly deluded Palestinians who simply do not understand anything other than force and violence of course.
Never mind that Hamas was Israel's equivalent to the PLO after the first Intifada and that everything is jump biting Israel back in the ass.

*sigh*
I hope this doesn't last long, for everyone's sake.
I don't know how much anyone can take of this shit.

Have I mentioned how much I hate this (un)Holy Land?
