I don't support Hamas. Neither Netanyahu.

Last Saturday, I went to a support Gazaian gathering before my town's city all. Among the protesters were Jews, as well as Christians, Muslims, and all various beliefs, backgrounds and nationalities
The prostest was , like in Paris, all peacefull. Until a group of youth Arabic guys tried to burn an Israeli flag. All the crowd began to boo them, and I went to one of them sayin, " Yes, what does Tsahal in Gaza is nothing more than a slaughter, but burning a flag will just spread hatred around , and will certenly not helping the fair cause you're pretending to defend by doing this".

So they stopped.

That just means: those who support Gazaian are not systematicly anti semitics , or pro Hamas, ore terrorists.
As well as not all the Israeli are supporting Netanyhu's war crime policies.

All those confusion hat to stop, otherwise we are all ( and somewhat already here in France) walking to ,the horrible, awful, evilesque reapeating of the daskest hours of history. From both sides to both sides.

Peace. Shalom, Salam, paix to all.

...but admitted there are many full of anger and hatred. Sadly, those with power are in charge.

They need to have their people live under the constant threat of war. If peace would ever break out in the land, Hamas and Netanyahu couldn't survive politically.
