Destruction in Gaza
I won't pretend to know all the circumstances regarding this carnage. I have read some articles online detailing why Israel is doing what it's doing. I don't know who's right and who's wrong, because I don't think things like this are ever as clear cut as it seems. War is not a tangible concept to me, nor do I think it is to most people in America who live in relatively peaceful and comfortable lifestyles.
The following are pictures from a website I found on the internet, showing what's going on in Gaza. To be honest, I still have yet to fully process what's going on in the pictures. One commenter said it best when he wrote: "This is getting dealt with by the "fiction" section of my brain; I have no real life context in which I can understand this." It is a shame that our tax dollars are helping to fund this.
The following pictures were taken from this site. Consider yourself warned, because the pictures are very graphic.
Burned baby torn in half
No living thing is safe in Gaza
Gazan buried alive in his home
What would you do?
Bombed out apartment blocks
speechless
Bombed out ambulance station
Somebody's cat in the rubble of their home
Entire streets reduced to rubble
Firemen pause to hose the blood off the streets
Dead toddlers
Young girl buried alive
Children climb through the rubble
Bullet holes
An entire street bombed out
Pulling survivors from bombed out buildings
Buried alive
A women steps through the front door of what used to be her house
Entire apartment blocks bombed out
Mother and child in rubble
Had enough yet? Like I said earlier, I'm not sure which side is right and which is wrong in this situation. Absolutes don't exist here. But this NYC Pro-Israel crowd seems to believe this is the absolute right thing to do, and they are celebrating:

Man those pictures are rough. I read a couple of articles on the Gaza strip but those pictures are really rough.

That was pretty graphic, decided to look anyway despite the warnings. I guess I’ve been really lost in own world out here. Hard to say who is right and who is wrong, but like you said, war is a hard concept for me as well since I’ve never been caught in the crossfire, nor have I ever come close (God forbid)… it jsut seems so far away becuase all i see are images or videos.

War never changes. Over 10,000 years over that strip of land, won’t be the last to die for it.
