Israel Desires Peace: Hamas Wants War
This is a reality that is escaping many people. Too many have been led to believe that Israel is a "greedy imperialist power" that has unjustly colonized "Palestinian Territory." The fact is that nothing can be further from the truth. The truth is that Israel has made repeated overtures for Peace. Ever since their victory in the 6-Day War of 1967, Israel has made repeated overtures for peace. After the 6-Day War, Israel not only returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt, but they actually improved the region by building hotels and oil industries that they gave to the Egyptians after they left. Israel repeatedly offered Golan back to Syria in exchange for peace, Syria of course constantly refused. Moreover, Israel is the only nation in the world that offered any land to create Palestinian-Arab state, yet once again, every peace offer was refused. However, the truth is, you don't even need to look at these facts to realize the truth, you need only to look at the visual image of Hamas, and the visual image of Israel.
One the Left we see the symbol of Israel, the Menorah and Olive Branches, which symbolize Light and Peace. On the Right we see the symbol of Hamas, guns and grenades, which clearly symbolize War and Death. Israel desires peace, Hamas wants war, these images show this, and their charters speak it.
The Israeli Declaration of Independence states the following: " The State of Israel will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education, & culture. We extend our hand to all neighboring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighborliness." Israel has clearly done this, not only be providing freedom and liberty to all of their citizens, regardless of religious affiliation, sexual orientation, and ethnicity, but has even reached to other nations, even enemy nations, and sent them humanitarian aid during their times of struggle.
The Hamas charter, on the other hand, states the following:
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it. There is No Solution to the Palestinian Question Except Through Jihad. Muslims will fight the Jews until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: 'Oh Muslim! There is a a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him!'"
Simply put, there is no moral equivalency between the two. Israel wants peace and has made many sacrifices to obtain in. Hamas wants war, and they don't care how many Palestinians have to die, as long as Israel is wiped out.
