The Extremists.

Yes, hello. I’m sure many of you would have kept up with the recent issues between the conflict of the Hamas government and Israel. Now, I strictly disallow racial and religious comments, as I believe that respect between all would probably have averted conflicts such as this.

Moving on, now this all started when the Hamas started launching rockets towards a small town in Israel which resulted in casualties and wounding several civilians. Now, Hamas was a democratic party (ironically) which was fairly elected, but it seems their actions would only label them now as an extremist terrorist group.

Let us now try to view from an Israelis point. Just a peaceful day when rockets begin pouring from the sky blowing everything you were familiar with to bits. In my humble opinion, Israels retaliation against the initial rocket strikes with air strikes to halt the missile strikes from Gaza was absolutely necessary. However, it seems now if the Israeli government would not stop, and might obtain authorization for a land assault. If that were to happen, countless lives would be lost, Palestinians and Israelis alike. This should and must be condemned. However, I do see the risks of not completely disabling every missile silo controlled by the Hamas, in case they were to breach the ceasefire (if they were to even accomplish that agreement)

I can only view that extremism practiced in anything, and maybe everything, would only lead to some very poorly made decisions with very obsessive rationals. I’m gently instigating the point that extremism in religion is even disliked by the general population of the same religion alike. Your rationality is and will be completely clouded.

This conflict will probably end up being a vicious cycle. Only the strongest foreign pressure might put an end to this (namely the United States of America). Let us all give a prayer to those who have lost their lives and that this would have a more peaceful ending than what has to come.

P/S I think I wrote this quite poorly, excuse me. =/
