Why Can't We Have a Peaceful War?

Everyone should question the morals of this war, it's your duty.

So I've been seeing some of this war footage coming out of Gaza, and I'm not okay with it. This war is a hard pass from me. I saw Hamas was shooting at civilians, and Israel blew up a fucking hospital. Are you kidding me? Aren't those war crimes? Where are the police? I thought this was going to be a regular war like Vietnam or 1812, where only people that signed up for it died. But this is different. Those kids didn't sign up! Their mothers didn't sign up! Enough is enough, people. This isn't a regular, run of the mill, average war. People are dying. This is not okay. This is so far from okay. When the dust has settled, and the last innocent woman and child are buried, you're all going to wish you had only being killing adult men in uniforms. The killing of Israelis and Palestinians has to stop. The killing of Israelis and Palestinians currently holding guns is okay, though. That is normal. That is good. If there's one thing we should all have learned from this war, it's that nobody is perfect. We make mistakes, but we have to learn from them. It's time to stop committing war crimes, Israel and Gaza. It's time to get back to regular war. I want to be able to support you two in what you're doing, but I can't. I just can't in good conscience. War is supposed to be like MW2, or Tom Clancy, with cool unit names and awesome looking tanks and shit. Why the FUCK are you killing innocent people? This isn't the type of carnage and human death I can get behind. Sigh. To speak in the language that Israel will understand: This war is not kosher. And it's not halal either. If you want Israel and Palestine to hear the words of us, the people, please share my article. Please let this go viral so we can change the world together.
