Whenever I read about religious fighting I think of this lyric… Imagine there’s no Heaven It’s easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say that I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say that I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will live as one ---

Ok, so what’s Hamas’s side of the story? What’s their rational for launching rocket attacks on civilians in Israel? Being honest here, I really haven’t spent much time reading up on this topic. It’s always been one of those, “they’re never going to stop fighting, so why bother trying to understand it” kind of things for me. ---

Israel has blocked shipments of everything into Palestine for some time now. That includes food and medical supplies. That is on top of many years of Israel setting up scattered developments in Palestine in an attempt to take over their land. Israel will come in, knock down a bunch of Palestine homes, build their own and then start shooting Palestinians when they throw rocks to defend their houses. Honestly, Israel is the bully here, it is very clear. ---

Read the latest updates on Satellite including articles, videos, opinions and more. ^ Good example. Israel doesn’t get hit with rockets for a while, they open up the borders to food and fuel. Shortly after they’re hit with rockets, they shut down the border again. It’s just not worth the time. Extreme religious people want a tiny chunk of land. There won’t be peace until there is only one religion left standing. ---
