SOUND FAMILIAR? It should as it is a much used phrase, and has been for probably thousands of years. There has been conflict, war if you will, for as long as there has been two or more groups of people with differing opinions of ownership or right and wrong.
Sometimes conflict develops, sometimes it is spontaneous. Sometimes it dissolves quickly but sometimes it becomes full blown and includes numerous countries and unbelievable atrocities. Japan pulled off a surprise attack on America, sinking ships, destroying planes, and killing thousands of people, both military and civilian. The conflict finally ended when THE BOMB was dropped on Japan killing thousands including many civilians , but ending the gradual killing of many more thousands on both sides in a prolonged conflict. Was this right or wrong?
Recently, Israel was shocked by a surprise and unprovoked attack on innocent civilians who were slaughtered in inhumane fashion and kidnapped to be used as bargaining chips later. So now we see , not only American citizens, but even some of our elected officials, supporting the terrorists. This is HARD for me to believe! I can only suggest that all who truly believe in the cause and want to support it should go to where they are and join them in killing babies, raping women, and beheading anyone who does not believe as they do.
To end such a conflict one side or the other must be eradicated or defeated completely. I ask you , with which side do you most closely identify? Please consider this thoughtfully!!
