The thinking and logic Americans have toward the situation in Gaza is composed of ideas on Israel’s right to self-defense, the rockets, the origins of Hamas and the purpose of Hamas in Palestine, the belief that Hamas is a terrorist organization, and Israel’s right to exist as well as deeply entrenched beliefs on anti-Semitism and/or Zionism.
Several argue over what constitutes proportional and fair responses and what does not.
Much of the argument negates history, negates the developments between Israel and Palestinians over the past few years, and negates U.S. support for Israel and the U.S.’ enabling of Israeli apartheid.
In later articles, I will further explore remarks on the Internet and the thinking and logic surfacing as Israel’s aggression continues.
This article was an attempt to lay the groundwork for discussion. Later, I will explore Israel's "right to exist" vs. Hamas' right to resist.
Until then, this should not be thought of as Israel vs. Palestine.
Rather, all should ask what the U.S. did so that Israel could be the aggressor millions are witnessing on televisions and through Internet videos.
