Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
I was against that one, as I'm against all invasions, either by force, or stealth.
The UK has been invaded by stealth, most people just don't know about it yet. The day will come when it'll all be clear, but maybe a bit too late by then.

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
Any attempt to remove HAMAs or any other terrorist group is doubtful.
The current situation may well remove them from Gaza, but they will not be gone nay more than ISIS or HESBOLA are.
The leaders hide in other countries, Syria, Iran and others.
In time they well may unite and once again the terror will begin.
The young 8 year old who lost all his family, or the one who saw his father shot in front of him will be fertile ground for any new terror group.
The hatred will be there and in time will come again to the surface.
So Israel may well win this battle, but the war may never end.

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
John those same Arab states also fund the UK & others arms industries, we are all guilty. Seafarers are also guilty by assocation we shipped the goods.
I spent 3 years on a UASC ship carrying tanks, armoured personal carriers and munitions. This was shipped to Kuwait and them transported to Iraq during the Iraq v Iran war in the 80's

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
But of course.
If you are an ammunition manufacturing nations such as Russia, USA, UK France China you need to sell the stuff.
It does not keep too well so sell it while in good condition, there will always be a war somewhere that needs the goods.
