But hatred unchecked has a way of consuming a person.

No one objects to Hamas getting what it deserves and then some. Israel in taking out Hamas has gone too far. Its obvious that Israel is more than willing to steam roll over anyone who gets in their way. Israel clearly wants Gaza a toxic wasteland so that it can no longer be inhabited by the Palestinians. Israel wants to get rid of the Palestinians in any way possible - and if that means extermination, then that's what it means. Hamas has become Israel's shield to try and excuse its behavior.

There is absolutely no reason that justifies the slaughter and/or starvation of children and infants. None.

The idea that journalists and health workers deserve to be killed because they are terrorist in disguise is beyond reason. Oh there might be a handful here and there, but not all of them. We are talking thousands here.

Many who believe war to be a necessary evil do not celebrate it, do not cheer it on and prefer it end as soon as possible. From the totality of your posts, I can not include you as one of them.
