Bombs, Air Strikes and Rockets Are All Stupid and Irrational!

Those who use them should stop and meet to discuss how to stop such destructive nonsense.

I take no sides in this. Both sides are tragically wrong. Solutions are essential. War is madness.

Why don’t they just go ahead and do the political solution before the war instead of after? Let’s face it, the war is not going to end because one side kills everybody on the other side

If the shooter only shot him or herself first, it would end much better.

I know that some people take sides in the Israel/Palestine conflict. I do not. I just want the destruction and killing to stop - permanently.

When the ones bombing get rewarded with more bombs, when killing get rewarded with freelance occupation and talking only shapes more misinformation as helpful propaganda for all sides there is little hope for "political solutions."

Behavior that gets rewarded is behavior that get repeated.
