by way of explanation

There seems to be something wrong with trying to get this blog to work properly over the last few days. My photos do not want to load and the published status is coming up such that I end up publishing twice. I am not sure what the problem is.
Concerning the war that is going on in the Middle East. Given the history of these two peoples, can there ever be peace? What does God want for his people? What concerns me is that when countries choose to go to war they make a choice to possibly kill innocent people. That is the fact of war. Women, children, elderly, sick people, nurses, aid workers, get killed in war. When you choose to get into a car when you are drunk, you choose to possibly kill someone innocent.
I regret that my first choice of career in the Navy did not happen. Blowing up ships generally happened far enough away that innocent people were spared. Except that some poor wife or mother and father or children and siblings had to endure the grief of the loss of a naval officer.
But maate, your analogy breaks down. One of the warring parties is not a nation. It is a civilian group hiding within another state. Don't you dare have the hide to compare their terrorism with the right of a people to defend itself. What do you mean Don't you dare? Am I not entitled to an opinion? An opinion yes. But not an ignorant opinion. So what counts as an ignorant opinion? What was Zionism before 1948? Ah yes but that is not the same as Hezbollah. Enlighten me.
