Israel invades Gaza

The blame doesn't lie solely with Israel. The blame doesn't lie solely with Hamas.

This is part of a larger conflict that has been going on for thousands of years. Yes it's terrible that people are dying, but throwing blame around serves no purpose other than to ignite more sectarianism, more antipathy and more violence. That's the last thing the Middle East needs.

How ya doing, buddy?

If the Middle East were to disappear anytime soon it wouldn't be very mysterious.

Mushroom clouds do have a tendency to remove all mystery, though.

The only mildly successful Arab nations are ones that have close Western ties, AKA OIL.

Lets assume for the moment that the Arab nations get their wish and Israel is pushed into the sea. Now what? Will gaining the land of Israel somehow create this wonderful Arab utopia? Fuck no, it will become just another Arab nation shithole that nobody wants to deal with. Fuck you Palestinians, you've done nothing to deserve your own country.

See, when I'm sitting around after a Steelers or Penguins loss, I always blame them for blowing the game, too. It's their fault, without even considering how the other team factored in.

I've been reconsidering lately, though. Thinking about it, isn't the other team just as responsible for the eventual outcome? That made a lot more sense to me, and so I try to see the whole scope of things when going over a game in my head.

I find it gives me a more accurate view of how things really are.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not really, which is what I going for before.

Even that's not the entirety of it, though. For Israel, the ire of the international community is nothing compared to that of the Palestinians living in all this. By invading Gaza to rid themselves of Hamas the Israelis have only united and inspired Palestinian youth to act, effectively swelling Hamas' as-yet-untouched ranks. But again, what would you have they do? Sit idly by as missiles explode on their own land?

It's a hell of a situation, that's for sure.
