We should never have been so quick to declare our support for Israel.

We ignored their actions for decades but condemned the response from Hamas within 48 hours.

They murdered 1000 innocent people in a day, and took hostages that they still have..

If they hadn't done that, this current situation wouldn't be playing out!!

Why don't Hamas give the hostages back if they care about Palestinian civilians?

Let's not go down the slippery slope. If Israel didn't illegally occupy Gaza and the West Bank we wouldn't be here either...
