Re: War in Gaza

Re: War in Gaza
What is war? Is militarizing our southern borders against the drug cartels war? It looks a lot like war. Watch the movie Sicario.

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
How ridiculous is it that Christians on two sides can come together and exchange presents on Christmas… and then go right back to shooting each other. That Christians from the same family can shoot each other in a Civil War… The answer is obvious. And the obvious answer is ? Christians most certain...

Re: War in Gaza
P.39: If the militants deliberately defy the separation and infiltrate the non-militants (which has been their strategy), then we are just back where we started. And wouldn't self-identifying as a militant be painting a target on your back? Does this justify killing children and bombing churches? F...
