The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza as part of its campaign to stamp out Hamas terrorism. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. It is what my community once endured in World War II, all because of the actions of others who happened to share our ethnicity. Have we learned nothing? How will this possibly help deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.
@georgetakei Israel need to stop all flow in and out of Gaza. Hamas is responsible for this. Ask yourself why you are not angry with Hamas that is doing this
@maffia @georgetakei Mr. Takei never said he wasn't "angry with Hamas." He has described the attack as an a atrocity and depraved. I don't understand why you'd try to mischaracterize his position.
@Breck @georgetakei the atrocity is a consequence of Hamas actions
@maffia @georgetakei Uh, yes? What's your point?
@Breck @georgetakei Israel have no blame, they do what they must
@maffia @Breck @georgetakei Hamas is guilty of terrorism, but Israel is not blameless. You can only kick a dog so many times until it bites you. Hardliners in Israel - not all Israelis - have created a situation that has radicalized many Palestinians. Cutting off food, water, and electricity will only radicalize more.
@Sameagle @Breck @georgetakei how was Hitler stopped? By hugs and kisses? Hamas is equally evil as nazis
@maffia @Breck @georgetakei And Israel isn't? Do yourself a favor and look back at Israel's actions while Netanyahu has been in power. It might save you from further making a fool of yourself.
@Sameagle @Breck @georgetakei are you saying that 1000 dead Jews is ok? I don't like Netanyahu he is not good for peace. But to blame him for Hamas killing Jews? Was it the people in Hiroshima s fault that USA nuked them? Don't make 1 evil excuse another evil. Israel can do evil things without its ok for Hamas to murder. Stop excusing terrorists
