The decision of going to war is not one that a country take lightly. Israel does not choose to go to way in Gaza, but out of the need there is a justification. When everybody is wrong, then who is right? Both side like to point the finger and bring justification for their actions. Hamas is a terrorist organization. This is one fact that seems to be missed in the media and in the protest. As the world has seen in the past there is not negotiation with terrorist. They seek to advance there ideals as far as they can. Hamas broke the previous agreement by firing rockets into Israel. Commonly it is said that the world is in a war on terror, but it seems when an independent nation steps up they are view as being ethically wrong. War is never something that anybody want to engage in, at time though it is not only justified, it is a necessity.

There have been many protest about this very topic all over the world. They center on the issue that Israel is the one to blame for what is happening. Secretary Rice has said herself that Hamas has been making life very difficult for the people of Gaza. I shall repeat, Hamas is a terrorist organization. They are extremist that do not understand diplomacy. As Malcolm X would say, the only thing that power understands is power. They will not stop if we sit idle and allow them to advance an unjustified rule in Gaza.

Extremism has been the source of confrontation in this world since the history books can remember. Extremism is the unyielding advancement of a selfish goal or ideal. They are willing to use innocent people in the line of death for their own goals. The Goals of Hamas are not shared by the international community. They are not shared by the great religions of the world. Everyone from the media to the protest, point the finger at Israel when they should be understanding the evils of extremist terror are the ones to blame.

There is not another country in the world that has dealt with terrorism as much as Israel. It is time that the world as a community stands up to the selfish evils of the world and stop allowing the unyielding progressive terror reign any longer. This is the world largest threat. Doing nothing at all. There is at time when people force others into a spot where the only way out is to fight. The second world war is the best example. Let us learn from the past. Do not appease evil, fight it so that the good and peace may reign.
