I am praying for shalom (peace, but more than peace) in the Middle East, a time when the fighting can end, remaining hostages are released, the terrorism can be stopped, and when civilians will stop being killed. I am praying not for a temporary ceasefire, but for lasting peace after justice is accomplished, including deposing a US Department of State Foreign Terrorist Organization from power, so that they stop using child soldiers, stop killing each other via misfired rockets & wired explosives/mines, encouraging other terrorist organizations to use human shields because of how successful that campaign has been internationally, etc.
I stand with Israel's ability to defend their people against brutal terrorist forces bent on Israel's destruction in the face of perhaps the heaviest usage of a wide-scale human shield campaign than perhaps any that has occurred in my lifetime by Hamas to shift public opinion their way. Most of the world cannot empathize with what Israel is facing because they have never faced a wide-scale human shield campaign like this one. Those that fall for the documented war crime of Hamas are feeding right into what they hoped for when they positioned military throughout civilian populations. Doing so encourages more terrorists to employ those tactics.

Hamas Has Been on the US Department of State Foreign Terrorist Organization List Since 1997
What the Tunnels Under Hospitals Show Regarding the Complexity of the Situation and the Naivity of The Opposition to Israel Regarding Israel Going Into Gaza Hospitals
Hamas Has a Long History of Lies to Inflate Civilian Deaths:
2019 Publication by NATO StratCom COE on Hamas' Extensive Use of Human Shields since 2007 is Critical to Any Understanding of the Situation
Hamas' & Houthi Use of Child Soldiers
Hamas Militants Increase Civilian Deaths by Often Fighting in Civilian Clothing

I Support Conditional Fueling of Hospitals to Mitigate Support to Hamas While Providing Humanitarian Aid: Hospital Fuel Request a Cover for Hamas Seeking Fuel, & Hospital Refusing Fuel from Israel Reportedly
Both Israel & Hamas should be investigated and prosecuted if convicted of war crimes & terrorism.
I Support the US Pressure on Israel to Provide Aid to Gaza, but not an Outwardly Imposed Mandate for Commerce (& Inherently, War Fueling Capital) to flow From Israel to Gaza.
Do I Support Biden's Position on This Issue? Mostly
Why Should Hamas be Eradicated & How Have They Admitted to Intentionally Provoking Israel to War That Would Lead to Civilian Casualties to Discredit Israel?
I pray the Palestinian people will be free from terrorist leadership, out of poverty, and less susceptible to death, but the cost for that is not an easy one when their leaders are supportive of terrorist policies and when the people of Palestine primarily support those leaders. I pray that the usage of human shields by terrorists will not become much more widespread in light of public opinion towards Palestine where Hamas plan to inflate civilian deaths in order to wage a more international campaign against Israel has worked extremely well.
