Right and Wrong Is Irrelevant This Time In Israel-Gaza Fight

Why there is any question as to what the US stance should be in the current fight between Israel and Hamas is baffling. In an increasingly complicated world, the citizens of the United States have seemingly lost sight of who is the enemy. Back in the “good ole days”, determining the enemy was easy. In WWII the Germans and the Japanese were clearly the enemies. Through the cold war the Soviet Union and communists were the enemies. Now, with the end of the cold war and the fall of the Soviet Union it appears people are not able to see the enemy. Let me help remind everyone: Muslim-based governments and Islamic extremists are THE enemy! They are responsible for nearly every military conflict across the world. Hamas represents Muslim-based government, terrorism, and extremism. Israel is the ONLY responsible government in the Middle East.

Imagine you are walking down the street and you see a fist fight between Adolf Hitler and The Pope. Would you stop to figure out who started the fight? No! You don’t care who started it, or even who’s right and who’s wrong. You would immediately help The Pope.

In this way, the citizens of the United States should be fully backing Israel in their fight against the Hamas terrorists. We don’t even need to know all the details to know this is the right think to do. It’s possible that Israel may have taken some inappropriate actions that could put them in the wrong. In this fight, it does not matter. If you think the Middle East is unstable now, imagine the Middle East if the one free and viable government in the region were removed.
