Predisposed

War Is Coming

The world (the not inconsiderate, uncaring and too busy among us anyway) have strong feelings about Israel declaring war on Hamas.

It all boils down to a few main factors, our age group, our gender (or gender identity), our lastname, our political affliation, our faith, our job, our school, our ethnicity, our maturity, and peer pressure. In short it just depends on who we are or who we have become.

This is the same in almost every issue. There is nothing new under the sun.



Israel has gotten the sympathy weighing scale slightly to dip in their favor with the violent attack on Israeli civilians during their religious festival. Hundreds were slaughtered, hundreds were pursued and hunted like prey and hundreds were captured. Rules of war are out the window.

The dead bodies were displayed, paraded and videos of the massacre were shared in social media. It didn't matter what age or what condition, innocent people, the elderly, the infirmed, babies and toddlers even. It was barbaric.

It was a sickening display of how humanity has evolved.

They were killing the injured, mutilating the dead bodies and reveling at what was being done.

Shock

Yet the world is still divided. Some rejoiced. Others mourned. Many are scared. The rest unmoved. 

As to be expected, Israeli forces have started their offensive and will try to save their face and the hostages. There are women and children and foreign nationals taken.

Israelis' small sympathy window will start to close, even now the United Nations is cautioning Israel from going on the offensive and in going after those who mercilessly and savagely attacked their people.

Where do we stand on all these?

As we've mentioned it all just depends on our individual situations. Everything is biased, we ourselves are. Yet we do not want to see it.

Peace.



[The world may be at the brink of another major war or the violence can escalate worldwide, and yet even in this social media age, people have grown cold and unaffected and condoning violence on women and children.]
