The REAL Situation in Gaza

By now, plenty of you have probably heard about the situation in Gaza. The Hamas terrorist organization and Israel are locked in a war that has claimed several hundred lives, much to the dismay of the the citizens of Gaza and the outside world. Much of the world has found some sympathy in their hearts and sided with Hamas, citing the dozens of civilian deaths caused by Israel.

Unfortunately, the world seems lack a real sense of morals. Or a brain. I highly suggest that you read this article:

Israel, Hamas, and Moral Idiocy

The Christian Science Monitor can put it a bit better than me, but, in a nutshell:

Hamas's stated purpose is to DESTROY ISRAEL. They have fired over 2,000 rockets into Israel since 2001, (with the purpose of causing as much death as possible) killing dozens of innocent civilians, and have engaged in unlawful warfare tactics such as firing these rockets from densely populated areas so that Israel cannot retaliate without killing massive amounts of civilians. (And thus, they haven't.)

Israel, on the other hand, is lawfully defending itself against a stated threat that broke the terms of a ceasefire. Hamas is a group of fanatics that are willing, and devoted to, causing widespread death and destruction to an established culture and its people. They brought this upon themselves, and they deserve the retaliation that they have provoked.
