Israel vs Palestine war 2023


By Asim Wajid AliI feel the same way 

. The Israel vs Palestine war has been going on for almost 80 years. Both sides are guilty of war crimes. People are treating this like a contest and picking sides. I'm a Muslim and I can see blame on both sides, for every point you can make about the Muslims, you can make one about the Jews, every death you can attribute to terrorists, you can attribute honestly far more to the Israelite government (6400 dead in Palestine vs 300 dead in Israel since 2008, not counting current

My point is there are no winners, neither side is willing to give and as such both will continue to suffer. The sad thing is, like most situations, it isn't the governments or soldiers who suffer the most. It's the civilians.

What Hamas has done in the most recent attack is unforgivable, I will not support their actions no matter the past sufferings, Muslims have NOT been taught to kill Jews as the rhetoric goes, only extremists think that way, like all religions, we got them too.

But look at the response of the "victim" Israelites... bombing a city and killing hundreds, perhaps soon thousands of civilians, men women and children. I see no difference in these actions. You can't call it retaliation if you're not confronting your attacker. It's like someone shoots a person and hides in a house, and you respond by burning down the neighborhood, not caring if you get that person or not.

I don't pretend to know the answer, I can't say what's the right thing to do... all I know for sure is children are dying by the hundreds on both sides and the world only seems to be debating who's on the side of right.

The civilians, the children, these are the victims.

The People in Power, the Leaders, these are the terrorists.

Us, the world, we are the fans to the flame by choosing sides.

There are no sides... there are no winners in this war.

Only dead and terrified people who never asked to be in this conflict.
