For those of you who wonder, "Why does Hamas keep firing rockets at Israel?"...

This is why:

You be surprised to know how many Palestinians have had their family members killed at the hands of Israel. Here at Pet Talk, we all know how devastated we get at the loss of our pets. We're human beings, and if losing one we love doesn't hurt us, then something is wrong with us. To have feelings of pain, grief at the loss of a beloved pet is very natural.

Now imagine how you would feel if your beloved pet were killed by someone. Along with the pain, grief, and sorrow, there would be deep anger embedded in your heart.

Now, imagine how you'd feel if you lost your beloved spouse. There could be no greater loss for most people.

Imagine how the feelings would get even worse if your spouse were killed by another person.

Let's take the feelings you have now, and multiply it by 5, because you did not only lose your spouse. You lost your spouse, your mother, your father, your brother, and your sister. All of them were killed at the hands of the Israelis.

Not only that. You yourself were born in a refugee camp, and for the 30 years of your life, you have never had a home. You've lived a life of pain and terror, and you can only see one cause of your suffering.

Israel.

That's it.

And now, the newest calamity has taken your child from you. That beautiful innocent child that you gave birth to, with those glowing eyes and bright smile is gone...so early, so young. Gone, after dying a terrible, painful death. Again, at the hands of Israel.

And now that you've lost everyone you ever loved, don't have a home, don't see any future ahead of you, you think, "I cannot stand this any longer. The pain is growing day by day, getting worse and worse, with no end in sight. I might as well take some revenge on the one who brought all this pain upon me."

So the revenge goes towards Israel. In the process, 3 or 4 Israelis are killed. Israel responds by killing 500. Israel ends up with more people hating Israel with passion, as they see the blood dripping from the bodies of their dead children. The cycle goes on. 500 killed means at least 2000 new enemies. They all believe Israel is a terrorist state, and rightfully so.

How would you feel if YOU were in their shoes? I personally am not sure about how much I could handle. Just the thought of losing one family member is enough for me to lose it. I can't imagine living the life they live. May God help them.

I think this picture should be enough to make any normal human being's blood boil with anger towards Israel.

What's happening there is truly disgusting. I have Palestinian friends here who are terrified, because they have family in Gaza that they haven't heard from. They don't know if they are alive or dead. I cannot see how anyone in the right mind could support Israel.
