  • 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.

"Israel has launched a missile attack against Qatar's capital Doha, aimed it says at Hamas leaders. The Qatari government has responded with outrage and shock, accusing the Netanyahu government of “state terrorism”.

President Trump maintains that he was only made aware of the strike by the US military, and tried to warn the Qatari leadership. '

Just...what? Netanyahu has lost his mind.

How is this any different than the strike on Iran?

Or the valid point raised in an interview about the US sending forces into Pakistan to eliminate Bin Laden?
It isn't. This isn't state terrorism, this is an act of war on a country that until recently was one of the middle east countries with the best relations with Israel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but bin Laden wasn't in Pakistan to discuss a cease fire.

Missile attack on a city feels different than a quiet extraction/assassination at some remote country house.

Any agreement or alliance with Israel is strictly one way.

At least it is readily broken for any perceived short-term gain.

I can see why some of the right wing people of the USA like it.
