Thoughts January 23rd, 2024

I support our Allies Right to Protect themselves from Real and Present Dangers.

That said many arguments built on morality are made in terms of ideal not always in practical terms.

Take the image of the little girl in Vietnam running from bombs. Little girls should not have to run, let alone run naked from dropping bombs and burning buildings. It is an emotional argument, it is a reasonable argument, that does not take into account all the thoughts and ideas, reasons that people choose to go to war or choose not to go to war.

If there was a picture of a little girl running naked from the butchers of Hamas, how might that change international sentiment? Antisemitism Victims with a face, with a real and present danger, that clearly communicates danger and danger that needs to be stopped.

Peace sometimes is seen as the way that reduces bombs. Yet letting Hamas survive and continuously rebuild for the next attacks is likely as has been shown from Historic Precedent to lead to more victims, victims that are Jewish, victims that are Children, victims that are USA Allies and potentially USA Citizens.  Peace that protects capacity to build weapons, to build ranks that are known to promote antisemitism does not always lead to sufficient Protection and Peace.

Money, Power, and Religious Theocracies that have influence of the people yet don’t teach antisemitism is monstrous are dropping bombs on naked little girls.
