I would like to express that anyone who sees what is happening in Gaza in terms of ‘sides’ may wish to take a brief moment of self-reflection.
I do not agree with what Hamas did, it was a vile act of terror on innocent people causing immense pain. But to side with an army funded by international weapons manufactures, driven by extremist ministers, wilfully starving a population whilst blowing them apart is morally reprehensible.
To have any view other than ‘this is wrong’ to starve children to death for the sins of their fathers is repugnant. To try and imagine the suffering of parents holding a child whose tiny heart is failing because of something totally preventable should put any sane person in a state of total anguish.
Please, have heart. War is a stain on humanity. Murdering innocents is vile and morally unjustifiable. There is no side of righteousness, there is only the actions of the worst impulses of radicalised society.
