Peace!

My wish is for the war in the middle east to stop! There has been so much unnecessary loss already. My heart is crying.

Evangel

I support your wish.

This war could be stopped by the powers who are funding it. So we should look at what they stand to gain. The reward won't be peace in the Middle East since this insanity will only bring more vengeance and brutality.

Tolerating the intentional decimation of any population must stem from some deranged apocalyptic vision that this is god's vengeance. Whether it's Hamas that wants to destroy Israel, or Israel that wants to destroy the Palestinians, these parallel goals are maniacally evil. Sadly, what goes around will surely come around again, but we can pray for a change of heart.

Sanatana

Yes, pray for a change of heart. Peace, as you say, I can see is futile. The two sides are shrouded in their maniacal beliefs and nothing will make either side see their wrongdoing. I don't know what the answer is, but I pray that the bloodshed stops.

Slipstream

Both sides trying to crush the other takes the lives of so many innocents, but leaders don't seem to consider them; they are treated as indispensable.

"War is ****" and "collateral damage" are terms that effectively de-personify those caught in the crossfire and feed the "it is what it is" narrative that comes from leaders of warring nations.
