I want everyone to be heard, and I am going to be very very slow to discourage thoughts on this forum, but there are certain forms of bigotry I won't tolerate.
And… C’mon! Thank you! Please everyone voice your opinions but make it a good strong moment for you and let’s tone down the hate! I get it. Life is difficult. But we’re going to overcome this. We need to talk….
This may not be the appropriate forum for the kind of discussion that your question implores. Suffice it to say, innocent people are the victims of this conflict, and some of those people will be innocent Israelis. Do we agree on this much?
How many of those people did not vote for that government? Am I mistaken that there were recent upheavels in Israel precisely because of the behavior of their government? So, I don't know that I would say that the Israeli people are in perfect lockstep with their government.
We have to look at what actually occurred. Babies were beheaded in front of their mothers, deliberately, and in cold blood. This is not politics. This is deciding do we want a world like this or not?
And everyone is welcome to disagree with me--I want to learn--but if you're excusing beheading children in front of their mothers, I can't go there..... I do want to keep the discussion going. And I do want to be open minded.
What game? I attempted to have a polite conversation in which we disagree and you've impugned my motives the entire time. Thanks anyway for the opportunity to chat.

And my heart and my prayers go out to the people.

I understand debates but on this piece of real estate we have to avoid slurs and elevate discussion. I’m confident we can we all can do that.
