Islam is just christianity with an extra prophet, just like xtianity is jeudaism(and this is according to most muslim scholars!). Any percieved massive gap in morals is total bullshit propaganda that you've baught into. They just see Muhammed as like the final prophet with the completed story.

Painting the world in black and white is amazingly easy, searching for the clear victims and those who should be hanged.
Referring only your preferred side of the story and using rhetorics along the way to make a strong point. This is how the media does it, and this is how we're being fed information, I get my "side". Overseas prefer the "other".
Truth is, shit is much more complicated than what people would like to believe, whether you're a left wing radical in or out of Israel calling for a swift agreement, or a right wing extremist with a big gun with the will to shutter life on either side.
Both sides are not free fault, far from it. We were all born in a quicksand trap, the size of our societies make decision taking, and complex thought a dangerous solution. Everybody wants it quick, you try to make a real progress, you try to achieve balance - you'd likely to get shot in the back or exiled until the day your die.

So, we'll let Rorschachs call our shots, Hamas over there, dangerous "patroitism" over here, there is no gray, let their blood spill.

I hate this war, I highly doubt it had nothing to do with the upcoming election, that up until a week ago, next to none cared about.
I hate waking up to the sounds of sirens, I hate watching the news, where they trying to sell me emphatic stories to prove that "we" are right.
I hate the sudden mass awakening of the extremist crowd calling for violence and death for all.
I hate the fact that I need to think twice before rising my head in the global communities, I wish I was Sweden, maybe I'd allow myself the privilege to pick a side and go for it.

But I can't, I'm aware and I know that shit sucks and shit is complex and that fixing it is not as easy, so to speak, as rooting for genocide.
This world is far too big for just two colours, for baddies and goodies.

I'm not sure how that came out, so flame at will.

hahahah.

Talk to credible scholars such as Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah, Imam Zaid Shakir or Shaykh Hamzah Yusuf and they'll completely tear you apart with a bullshit statement such as that

One side is wrong and the other is right and it is in fact very black and white.

well i would say that blasting rockets in to israel (however ineffective that may be) isn't really a a RIGHT thing either

Well, the fact some Palestinians don't agree with the way the Hamas is running thing may just place a shade of grey on the whole conflict. I mean, I doubt that those Palestinians are undercover Jews.

Wasn't the original hamas intention to kill innocents? they broke the ceasefire and fired all those rockets with the intention to kill hundreds of people. it just didn't happen.

Israel responded accordingly with full force.

dont hamas purposely set up their hideouts within civilian areas?

Firstly both of the peoples involved are brown to a certain extent, so yah irrelevant call there

Haha don't try to flame me with your best Steel imitation Truth, I was simply asking questions as I don't fully understand everything about the situation. I'm admitting that and attempting to further understand what happened, there is nothing wrong with that.

I understand that it is absolutely inhumane the way the people of Gaza are being treated but at the same time I would probably protect my country in the same way if someone broke a cease fire so I understand their retaliation and a little of both sides perspectives Gaza and Israel. I think I was there during some of the missile attacks and it is pretty scary, Israel is on constant defense and surrounded by these countries which hate them so I guess that is why they used to situation to attack Hamas.

And yes I have been through Gaza in real life actually, but surely even Gaza has areas which aren't completely urban, I went through some pretty unpopulated streets from memory.
