“Not differently from Hamas”?
Time and again we see people like Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder turn the blame hose on Israel for using force to respond to the daily terror campaign waged by Hamas.
Actor Mark Pellegrino, best known for his roles as Jacob on “Lost,” Bishop on “Being Human” and Lucifer on “Supernatural,” had plenty to say about the obscene impulse to blame Israel and the moral difference between Israel and Hamas.
@_nathy you see no moral difference between initiated and retaliatory force?

@MarkRPellegrino I do, Mark. But a weapon is a weapon, on the 'right' or on the 'wrong' hands.

@_nathy @MarkRPellegrino yes. And in the wrong hands it perpetrates evil and in the right hands good.

@MarkRPellegrino Speaking in general terms, ANY weapon usage is wrong if it hurts or kills innocent people. No matter what said weapon is.

@StormJPad as I said to Vanessa. The death of innocents is the responsibility of the party that initiated force. That would be Hamas. It is

@StormJPad not Israel's fault that those terroristic cowards hide behind children and fire rockets from apartment complexes.

@StormJPad then display the bodies of the children they used as human shields to shame the Israelis. The shame is entirely on Hamas.

@MarkRPellegrino This conflict is more complicated than that. There is no good or bad side. War is never a solution to a conflict !
