Israel and the conflict with Hamas

First off we all need to realize and accept that Hamas is a terrorist organization . One that wants to see the end of Israel and the Jewish people.

Second is Israel is not a Utopian Nation ..it's a democracy and like all democracy's it has it's problem's and issues .

So then why am i writing this blog ?.. I am writing for the simple fact that not everyone understands or even wants to understand the conflict.. I believe by writing this that i may be able to help people understand a bit of what is going on .... and help them to decide where there support is deserved.

Point 1

Hamas has been shooting Rockets in to Israel for the last eight years .. even during Cease Fires

Point 2

Hamas was the organization that chose not to continue the latest Cease Fire ... even though they were sending rockets in to Israel with out being retaliated against.

Point 3

Every country has a right to protect themselves against aggression .. If sending Rockets in to towns and city's isn't aggression i don't know what is

Now I know about the disproportionate death's in this war are great ... How ever Hamas hides in residential area's and shoot many of there rockets from the school's and play ground's and surrounding area's .. Thus not all the fault should lay at the feet of Israel ... but at the feet of Hamas ...

  1. yes i agree in this,
    the media only shows one side...
    israel shooting at the palastines but not
    mentioning any of the things why this has been going on and what hamas is doing at the same time
    both stories need to be told.

    not saying that it right whats going on there
    but isreal is not the only one to blame

  2. Thanks for sending me the adress of your blog Nelson. I'll read it regularly. As a citizen of Israel, it's important for us to make understand that we're not heartless beasts like a lot of medias like to show us.

    Thanks for making that precious effort to understand the problem better. I wish they were more people like you.

  3. Well Nelson I'm from India, and all I get to hear about the ongoing saga is what the World Media makes it out to be, unfortunately biased and at many points they put on the "We support them not because they're right but because they're at the receiving end." cap. I wasn't naive enough to let them guide me, so spent the last few days poring over pages and pages of previous conflicts, Israel's history, the 3 Arab-Israel battles, the 3-day war and other key events spanning more than half a century. I don't take any side but I really appreciate your efforts in trying to bring out the truth. I just have 2 requests for you,
    1) I even don't know whether you're an Israelite but if I can go by Yael's remarks above me, assuming that you are, please try to keep this blog as fair and unbiased as possible. Alas, if the truth is true enough, the world doesn't need lies to convince people of the reality.

    2) As much as possible, try to refer to articles on trustworthy sources like www.wikipedia.com after each article, so that you don't leave room for doubt or ambiguity in your work.

    And yeah, forgot mentioning All The Best with your blog. If there's anything I can do please do let me know, you can either get me on gmail or at

  4. Hey Rahul, good to see you here.
    Nelson is not israeli. I meant to thank him for trying, as a non-israeli- to show the other side of this war. I appreciate the effort made in that purpose, and I agree with you completely regarding the trustworthy sources.

    take care Rahul
