I think many of the readers can realize why this "good Christian woman" is not busy preparing for an Easter dinner this afternoon like others are. However, I wonder if she ever gives a thought to those who are actually targeting Christians in the Middle East and elsewhere. On this Easter Sunday, even though Frau Sherri wouldn't spend the time as she is too busy bashing Israel, let us think about the unfortunate Christians who will not be able to celebrate a religious holiday in peace. Unlike these unfortunates, Frau Sherri is very lucky that she lives in Arkansas where she is able to practice whatever religion she chooses to in peace.BACK to the OP, Hamas is taking a stand for justice for the refugees. INTL law clearly gives the refugees the lawful right to return to their homes they were unlawfully expelled from. BUT the fact one has a right does not always mean we should insist on all of our rights or nothing. WE look at the legal system in the US for example and how most disputes are settled. FOR a moment I want to compare a settled case to one that goes all the way through the system, like a Capital Punishment case. WE may see a man convicted and executed but it probably took over a decade to get there and so many resources, physical and emotional, were expended to get there. Was justice truly served in either case? NOONE IS GOING TO AGREE. IF one does not believe in Capital Punisment, you disagree with the execution. BUT if you settled, you may feel your rights were not upheld. YOU settled for something less than was justified. YOU may lose your faith and belief in the justice system completely. JUSTICE AS a guide to follow fails. MERCY TRUMPS JUSTICE, THAT is what the story of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection are all about. CONFLICTS often take us to places where we must choose between mercy and justice. LEBANON, 2006, Christians at a school take in Muslims who fled their homes being bombed by Israel.They prayed together twice daily in prayer meetings. NOONE PICKED up a gun, noone insisted on justice, they prayed for peace and the killing to stop. THERE WAS something they found that was more important then justice. AND bonds of friendship were forged between these Christians and Muslims that extend through the present.
Hamas doesn't have anything to do with Justice.
They slaughter their own people of the Fatah, and every Palestinian organization which dares to say anything they don't like.
They are like the Gestapo.
You can say what you want about Israelis, but we will never shoot our OWN people out on the street in mass numbers, just because they protest the governments' views.
Anyone who believes Hamas has anything to do with justice, is mentally retarded!
I SAY a people who ethnically cleanse and murder children like Israelis do have nothing to do with justice. YOUR comment seems to be of the effect as long as we do not kill our own we are morally superior.
