What's Going On?
With the illegal activities enacted in Gaza and Lebanon by Israel, I want to say that is one of the reasons I will never take up arms.
Armed militants from Gaza killed several Israeli soldiers and kidnapped one. Because of that, their infrastructure has been bombed by the Israeli military, some of their political leaders assassinated, dozens of civilians murdered, etc. The infrastructure bombing will indeed cause much hardship on the Palestinian peoples and possibly the deaths of many.
Same with Lebannon. When armed Hezbollah militants killed 8 Israeli soldiers and kidnapped 2 with the alleged same intent as the Palestinians of a potential prisoner exchange, Israel has and is bombing illegally the Lebanese people. Israel is bombing their infrastructure as well which will also cause great suffering and potentially many deaths. All of this is illegal, by the way.
My opinion of the conflicts in the Middle East come from talking with people who have a deep understanding of the situations there and educating myself moderately with books and news articles. I believe that the actions of Hezbollah and the militants in Gaza are due directly to the oppressive actions of Israel against their peoples. Israel's oppressive actions are what give motivation to these attacks which Israel then uses as an excuse for military action. Israel's military actions are illegal. Their oppressive actions are illegal. But they are allowed to get away with them like the U.S. government is allowed to get away with its oppressive actions against its indigenous populations. When people are stressed to the point of breaking, they will act out in what they believe to be defensive measures. The military mights of Gaza and Lebannon are minimal compared to the destructive authority of Israel. It is like a senior in high school stealing the lunch money of kindergardners, then beating them to death when one or two take actions to stop the oppressive behavior of the high school senior.
Would we accept this behavior in our society? No. But we do when it is the Isreali or U.S. government taking such actions against those they oppress who get so tired of it so they act out with behaviors that are destructive and used as an excuse by the U.S. and Israel to slaughter with impunity to terrorize the populace whom, some, will undoubtedly not take it well. Seeing that their families are being murdered they may take action which will AGAIN be used as an excuse for mass slaughter by Isreal or the U.S.
At the same time, I wonder what is going on behind the scenes. What might be the alterior motives of the armed militants in Gaza and Lebannon? They had to have known that Israel would behave in such a brutal and cruel manner. That is their MO. That is why I don't take up arms. I know how the U.S. would behave if I did. They would slaughter and oppress many innocents before actually attempting to get at me. It is a clear and consistent pattern of their behavior. I have to wonder what is going on.
