If you're calling for justice before crying for peace you are more concerned about your feelings than the lives of people #PrayForPeace #Thoughtoftheday

@AC_is_CLK Not exactly.

If the masterminds / perpetrators get away with an attack like that, they'll do it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again until they're stopped.

We know because that's exactly what Hamas has been doing for many years now. They're not going to stop, regardless of what agreement might be reached, until they're dead.

@AC_is_CLK Peace is nice in theory, but when you're dealing with murderous extremists who are dead set on nothing less than the destruction of Israel as a nation... good luck.

The Israelis, so far as I've seen, have historically been pretty reserved (mainly reacting defensively, with fairly small counterattacks) for the most part.

It's easy to spout platitudes about peace. It's not so easy to achieve peace when Hamas regularly fires rockets at civilian targets, trying to kill innocent people.

@IrelandTorin There's nothing wrong in fighting for peace what make you think that?

@AC_is_CLK Well, that's sort of what the Israelis are doing - just that the fighting part is a lot more literal than I think you meant.

As for why pushing for peace can be a problem... I'll use an illustrative example: there were people who pushed for peace with the Nazis early on in the Second World War; this ultimately helped the Nazis capture more territory and murder more innocent people, because it kept several countries from joining the war on the Allied side for quite some time.
