War is the dumbest answer

Israeli soldiers admitted abuses in the last Gaza conflict.

"People were not instructed to shoot at everyone they see, but they were told that from a certain distance when they approach a house, no matter who it is -
even an old woman - take them down."

• Civilians were used as human shields, entering buildings ahead of soldiers

• Soldiers fired at water tanks because they were bored, at a time of severe water shortages for Gazans

Israeli troops and the people who justify their actions [the U.S] are "slid[ing] together down the moral slippery slope".

Ghandi taught that nonviolent resistance should be used to oppose war. If we had taken his advice after 9/11, Bin Laden's influence would have been nullified, and our country would be in a lot better shape (and Dick Cheney would be a lot less rich).

"A aSOFT banswer turneth away cwrath: but grievous words stir up anger." —Proverbs
