  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Smoke billows from the site of an Israeli airstrike in the southern Lebanese village of Khiam near the border on September 19, 2024. Lebanon's Hezbollah has traded near-daily fire with Israeli forces in support of ally Hamas since the Palestinian militant group's October 7 attack triggered war in the Gaza Strip, with repeated escalations during more than 11 months of the cross-border violence.

We are pledged to help Israel defend itself.
Netanyahu has already gone far beyond that mission in his scorched earth Gaza genocide.
And now he is the aggressor, attacking Lebanon over and over--instead of pursuing diplomacy.
Israel is no longer "defending" itself. It is time for us to stop financing these aggressive campaigns and return to our original pledge.
Help Israel if it needs defense.
Tell Netanyahu when he attacks it's on his dime.

Diplomacy was tried over and over and over and over. Diplomacy only works if BOTH parties want peace which is NOT the case here when Hamas and Hezbollah hate and want to kill Jews...
