I believe I need to clear up what I stated first off here is where I stand on the current conflict.
1. I do not support Hamas or Hezbollah, and would you be surprised to know that I do not condone the actions of Israel's retaliation but, I am willing to say that they were within their rights as a country to defend themselves.
2. I am not a terrorist sympathizer. What I am simply trying to point out is that many politicians in the west have cozied up to Israel simply out of convenience and the fact that nobody in hell wants to be seen next to Hamas or Hezbollah.
3. Let me be clear, I do not support or condone the acts of violence that have been going on between all sides and that includes Israel.
4. I personally believe that Terrorists have attacked the United States because of it's close ties towards Israel. I do not believe Israel to be a bad country in my view but in other countries in the middle east, Israel is extremely hated. I am not saying we should just stop supporting Israel I am saying that we need to back off sometimes and not let ourselves get involved in the affairs of other countries.
5. Yes Hamas is radical and I probably don't even share one single position they do. But lets keep in mind folks, for those of you who are keeping count. Hamas was democratically elected and while we may disagree with the palestinian peoples choice, we must at least respect the fact the government is not a dictatorship.
6. I will also point out that I am a pro-life, pro-peace, anti-death penalty person who believes that all life must be valued and must not be taken away.
