Modernizing Conservative Republicans and informing you of the events and elections.
CrimsonPolitics no longer supports neither the Republican Party nor the conservative movement (nor the tea party movement) nor the libertarian movement any longer. We've found that progressives and Democrats are simply more correct on a huge number of issues (social, economical, foreign policy) and we have changed our stances as a collective group. We also apologize if we mislead you about Obama, he has been doing a great job on the economy based on the evidence. (we still do not like Nancy Pelosi though, she is still corrupt; but honestly Newt Gingrich and John Boehner are much worse)
Europe Divided about Israeli-Gaza Conflict
Poligazette reports on Europe being divided on Israel and their responses. Britain doesn't agree with the Czech support of Israel and they don't agree with the French condemnation of Israel, I suppose domestic politics overrules foreign policy because I cannot find any other reason why these politicians cannot formulate an intelligent response to the conflict.
The appropriate response I'd expect from a politician is "If our nation was being attacked constantly by Qassam rockets we would respond exactly like Israel would; our people would demand it just like the Israeli people demand it of Israel." However, it's simply popular to support the underdog regardless of who's right.
When people see Palestinians getting crushed they can't help but condemn Israel.
There's your problem, why are they seeing Palestinians getting crushed and not Israelis getting attacked? In the past I'd see ambulances of Israelis being carried out by attacks, now it seems only Israeli TV provides that footage instead of the whole world.
Sean Hannity might be right when he says "Journalism is dead." I don't know whether it's corporate pressure of news agencies to report in favor of Hamas or whether it's individual journalists who feel that Israel is unfair with all their high technology and well-funded military versus Hamas's rocks and sticks.
I didn't see the condemnation of the United States when it disproportionately bombed Afghanistan. Oh wait, that's because when liberals are hit with reality they understand what must be done, but when something is far and distant they can't figure out who to blame.
There is no good way to get involved in this conflict. We are already engaged in warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan and we really really really need to stay out of this conflict. These aren't just warring countries over land, this is bigger than all of that. This is a HOLY WAR and the UN, the US, Obama, nobody can stop it. The only way this thing resolves itself is when one side completely dies off, that is the sad reality. People can be split all they want as long as they don't act accordingly. Everyone needs to let this handle itself!
It's a difficult situation. A conflict of interest among two peoples. Eventually, I believe it will resolve itself, but that may take decades.
After studying world history and religion I know enough, in my opinion, to conclude that unless the religions cease to exist, there won't be an end to this conflict in this lifetime or the next.
That's a paradox though. It's human nature to want religion, that's why religion has always existed. Sometimes it creates good, other times it causes harm.
The reality is, as one South Park episode portrayed in satire a world without religion: "In the Name of SCIENCE!" The point was, belief is the problem, not religion. Religion is simply a set of beliefs, it is very powerful, but sets of beliefs always exist and always will.
Even with atheists, they have a "church of atheism", what is going on? Apparently, they have their own set of beliefs. What a paradox.
