In response to: : I am opposed to any warlike antagonism and empathetic to any innocent people who are the victims of war anywhere. There is no need to take sides here. The only thing that has to happen is a complete cease fire on all sides.

From where I sit here in Canada and from the news that I have access to I see the instigators as being the radical leaders and their followers who for many years have been lobbing bombs into Israel.

The hate that is and has been openly targeted at Israel which represents the Jewish people of the world comes from the leaders of modern fanatical groups.

Their leadership is the origin of these awful, calamitous death ridden clashes and it is they who should be sought out and destroyed.

Unfortunately these cowards who consider themselves prophets continuously lob bombs into Israel and position their attacks from civilian areas inside their own land. When Israel retaliates it's a disaster for sure.

All leaders from all sides must be brought together immediately to one place and commit to a cease fire on all sides. This needs to be governed by an international body of some sort who will monitor the ceasefire and punish severely anyone who breaks the ceasefire. Anyone connected to breaking the ceasefire must be tried as a war criminal and put away forever. End of story.

We can't take sides because taking sides is a sure fired way of keeping this insanity going. It doesn't matter anymore who started it or what religion you believe in.

INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE DYING AND THAT HAS TO STOP!!!!!!!!
