No Matter What Israel Does, It's At Fault

Lionel Beehner over in HuffPost deals with What Ukraine's Gas Crisis Has In Common With Gaza, something I dealt with here and writes this:

Sending troops into Gaza only solidifies popular support for Hamas, whose popularity among Palestinians had started to slide prior to the Israel's invasion.


This is one of those lefty-liberal convoluted thinking procedures.

To clarify, he brings no proof to his claim but worse, here's his simplisitc explanation of a previous situation, which has nothing to do with the Gaza-Hamas reality:

It's not enough for Israel to negotiate the release of its soldiers taken hostage by Hezbollah -- it has to invade and rain cluster bombs over southern Lebanon.


Note, for over two years Gildad has been a hostage and Israel only invaded and bomber Gaza in a military operation now.

So how is Israel a bully?

There are far worse atrocities coming from the Israeli side than holding a soldier captive for two years. Wouldn't it be more productive for you to spend your time focoused on what Israel, the side you might have some influence over, should be doing. When you become an apoligist for one side in this conflict you become part of the problem.

I do believe that Israel has the resources to end the rocket attacks without using military action. You can't end terrorism with bombs. In fact, bombs help create terrorism. Israel needs to look at the social and economic issues and do what it can to change perceptions by lending a hand or finding common ground. No one wins when there is war. It won't be easy but Israel does have the resources and the knowledge. The rocket attacks won't stop and neither will the Israeli military and nothing will be left if you continue this way.
The Israeli government and Hamas are selfish who will be the bigger "man" and stop this.

P.S. Both groups like to hide behind their religion if you don't support Israel your a bad Jew or if you don't support Hamas your a bad Arab. Grow up please children, Your opinion is not everyones.

Jeff, for the past three years, Israel has tried other than military measures but with Egypt in collusion with Hamas in permitting the tunnels phenomenon and other agencies harping about the humanitarian issues while ignoring the very real humanitarian issues of Qassams falling on Israel's civilian population - with no liberal/progressive protests in the US & Europe - we were unsuccessful due to Hamas ideology, not Israel's which got out of Gaza.
