1. When Germany attacked England, it was their choice. It was a horrible country they were left with, but when one nation chooses to attack a superior foe, they really need to expect it.
2. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, they never expected such a retaliation. Many Japanese still have hard feelings over those bombs, yet they would not have hesitated to use them on us. Their designs were to rule over us. At war’s end, we had won the right to rule over them totally. We didn’t.
3. When the Palistanians made the choice to attack Israelis, They knew they would be the subject of a massive retaliation. Yet, the instant of the counterattact, they took the stature of the victim.

The Palistinians are suffering much. Yet, they have the ability to stop the war almost instantly. If they put down their weapons, the shooting will stop.

To be sure the civilian suffer, as did the Jewish civilians at the attack by the Palistinians. However, the palistines cause the death of civilians by using them as shields.

Yet they continue to fight without hope or cause. For their cause, they will lose all including their land, perhaps even their lives.

As a side note, there were scirmishes as Trump took office. When he left, there were no wars or even scirmishes. The Middle East was a pretty peaceful place, or have you forgotten?
