This Is War
Many Americans have a strong opinion on Israel vs Hamas. The side they root for does no wrong and the other side is evil. And who ever roots for the other side is also evil. Sad ignorance.

This is war. War is a curse on human beings. As long as people care for themselves more than their neighbors there will be war. War never changes. People do evil to people during war. It is absurd to think that war can happen without civilians being killed. There is no non-violent way to bring peace between Israel and Hamas. They will never love one another.
It is the same for Ukraine and Russia, and every other group that is fighting. There may come a day when they declare a truce and we will call that peace. But a truce is not real peace because war is a curse on human beings.
And yet I pray for peace, because I have hope. For I know someone who change the hearts of people so that they do love one another.
