remember?

 Never forget! Well, apparently, we have forgotten. How did we go from 9/11 to supporting terrorism? And there is no denying that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Hamas isn't Palestine. Not all Palestinians support Hamas but all suffer under their thumb. All these college students supporting Hamas is just astounding! When you are supporting a slogan, from the river to the sea, you are supporting terrorists! That slogan means that Israel as a nation should be eliminated, that territory taken from them and occupied by terrorists. What started out as a cry for the ending of hostilities, of war, has changed into a battle cry. These students are now encouraging, indeed empowering these terrorists to continue the conflict.

 I'm not talking about any attacks on Muslim people. I'm not saying all Muslims are terrorists. I am saying the ones that attacked Israel most certainly are and should be exterminated! Any attack on Israel, or any other sovereign nation for that matter, should be met with force. Israel isn't attacking Palestine, they are defending themselves from terrorists. 

 Google this question. Has Israel declared war on Palestine? You won't get a straight answer to that. Google has Palestine declared war of Israel? You won't get a straight answer to that either. Is any declaration of war against Israel a declaration of war against all Jews? It certainly seems that way to me. Is any declaration of war against Palestine a declaration of war against all Muslims? That doesn't seem as clear now does it? Israel did declare war on Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organization not a sovereign nation. Not much different than declaring a war on drugs really.

 There are those "players" behind the scenes that provide the financial backing to engage in these attacks. The reason will always be the same, economic gain to the ones providing the funds. It is an investment! Yes, driven by an ideology those operatives are doing just that for profit. That is the hidden motivation behind all of this. It always has been and will continue. Alliances are formed for the same reason, benefit. Alliances are broken for the same reason, a benefit. 

 All that is required for support is a motivator. Indeed, it is the reason religions exist. Man has always sought the help, the blessing, the favor of whatever god or gods he felt beneficial to him. Willing to make sacrifices in return for that favor. The goal has always been to please the god(s). Now that in no way is intended to dismiss the existence of God, that higher power than us, that would indeed be a foolish assumption. Man can neither create nor destroy energy and that is what my understanding of God is. I can't understand it, explain it, but I sure believe in it. Call it your soul or your life energy it makes no difference, it exists.

 What motivates the common man? The promise of something better is the short answer. Whether it is a better job, a better life, or a better afterlife, that is the motivator. The method to obtain such is the function of religious practices and beliefs. When I can convince the common man, the one that does the actual fighting and dying, that his religious practices will ensure something better, he is motivated. Yes, that is the strongest motivator, what I believe. In the absence of belief, all that remains is money. That being so the acquisition of money becomes the objective, the reason for fighting and dying. Is the objective of Hamas to provide something better to the people of Palestine? Just why would you support Hamas? That is the question I have for those protestors. Why? 9/11 was Al-Queda this is Hamas. Both are terrorists' organizations. Have we learned nothing, remembered nothing, and taught our children nothing.
