Afschuwelijk wat er op dit moment in Israel aan de hand is. Een kant zal ik nooit kunnen kiezen, maar na het lezen van velen (slecht geformuleerde) uitspraken hier op Facebook, lijkt het mij verstandig om het volgende artikel met jullie te delen. Klein stuk uit de tekst (in mijn ogen zeer belangrijk, aangezien niemand het hier over heeft): The UN relief organization UNRWA issued a furious condemnation of Hamas after discovering hidden rockets in not one, but two childrens schools in Gaza last week. Hamas fires thousands of rockets into Israel, rarely killing any civilians or causing any serious damage. It launches them from densely populated areas, including hospitals and schools. Why launch rockets without causing any real damage to the other side, inviting great damage to your own people, then putting your own civilians in the line of fire when the response comes? Even when the IDF warns civilians to evacuate their homes before a strike, why does Hamas tell them to stay put? Because Hamas knows its cause is helped when Gazans die. If there is one thing that helps Hamas most -- one thing that gives it any legitimacy -- it is dead civilians. Rockets in schools. Hamas exploits the deaths of its children to gain the worlds sympathy. It uses them as a weapon. You dont have to like what Israel is doing to abhor Hamas. Arguably, Israel and Fatah are morally equivalent. Both have a lot of right on their side. Hamas, on the other hand, doesnt have a shred of it. Lees AUB het hele stuk om ern duidelijker beeld te krijgen van de hele situatie!
