I've been to many places which are very similar.....Hi. The thing is should hamas stay in power? 1 st how many innocent are really inocent? From one vid that I saw the innocent wanted to kill the woman hostage but the terorists saved her. How that vid got out I have no idea. It could have been fake. We are not there so we do not know what is going on. The tell us what they think we should know.
The citizens were lost and in need of leadership then found it in sometimes places where we deem as terrorist cells.....it is up to western countries to deem what is a terrorist group and what isn't........we can and do deem various groups as terrorists......and many of these groups live amongst us in our own countries and have for decades going untouched or challenged.......
To the Palestinian population of Gaza, Hamas are the only leadership they know.......
I'm in no way shape or form pro Hamas.....but I'm also not pro ethnic cleansing and that's what has been suggested by the leader of the most powerful country on earth (for now).
Like I've preached here too many times, it's high time the UN got engaged and a buffer zone be erected between Israel and Gaza and patrolled by peacekeepers who have some bite if necessary......this way it would keep the two factions apart and let them develop in their own way.
There are far too many instances where the west has gone into other sovereign nations and completely erased their way of life or have imbalanced their power base................and then left leaving the nation in shambles............and there are lots and lots of examples of this.
