My presumption is that the war between Hamas and Israel should have a moral compass that questions the very nature of humanity, to defeat the real enemy and bury the dead fantasy of power and control. University students are naively rallying with misguided mercy. That so-called reformists are drunk with peace but champion butchers is hypocrisy that stinks to high heaven.
Yes, this is for the love of country and their principles, but we cannot romanticize failed legacies, because human lives are at stake.
The powers in the world only focus on the dangers of war and don’t have any clarification of how this war should end. We have to have an unwavering resolve defending, supporting and understanding, but eye for an eye makes everybody blind.
I think we have to choose the higher interest to humanity and to have an untiring advocate for peace reform.
