I support the innocents, and the people advocating non violent solutions.
You can't beat terrorists/freedom fighters(insert your bias here) with laser guided bombs from F-16's.
Nor can you beat a state with suicide bombers and unguided rockets.
No
You just stoke the fire further by doing either of those things.
Every time you murder an innocent, or destroy their homes, you run the risk of radicalising otherwise moderate people.
And on it goes.
Neither side can "win" this.
But this is a drearily inevitable chain of events. A real hunger or appetite for a mutually beneficial solution wont arise until many many more innocents have been killed, if ever.
It requires maturity, and if not openly, at least in private, accepting the legitimacy of your oppositions struggle.
My one, bias, is calling bullshit when I see a so-called democratic state aping the behaviour of people it terms terrorists, and that being regarded as legitimate.
Anyway.
My thoughts are with the innocents.
I hope the people on both sides get the leadership required to make peace a reality.
Strong, brave individuals who will be shot at, barked at by every hawk and war mongerer, but will stick resolutely to the cause of peace.
