Those who pay the price are not the perpetrators of the problem.

There's a historical context to the bloodshed that has become ingrained in the culture of the region generally referred to as the Middle East. No matter who does what at this point, that context can't be changed. There is a lot of history that has brought about everything that is happening there now. So much seems to be ingrained in the region's history that keeps resurfacing, it seems impossible to find a solution to it, and massacres like the one we've just observed only serve to stir up more hatred and make things worse than they already are. Actions create new resentments that call for more reactions. It's a never ending cycle.

Something goes haywire when one group of people, centered around their common culture, sees themselves as superior to other people, and entitled to rule the world. Where does that thinking even come from? How are people so conditioned to it that the human intellect, which we are taught to believe is the highest level of intelligence in the universe, cannot find a solution to the results of hatred? It appears that one of the things we have that animals lack is the capacity to destroy ourselves and the world in which we live over ideology.

Israel may be able to lay its hands on a few Hamas fighters who haven't been able to get out of Gaza when they invade. They may be able to temporarily disable their ability to attack from inside the enclave by rendering it virtually uninhabitable. But long term problems require long term solutions. And the real question is whether or not the people of Gaza deserve the suffering that they are experiencing and what's coming. And the answer to that is that they don't.
