Wildstix's log, stardate 62539.2

I'm sure you all know about the israel-hamas conflict and all the reactions. During the conflict I strongly believe that instead of supporting or condemning the conflicting parties, we should look deeper into the matter. I often heard people (especially from superficial muslim organization in indonesia) always condemning Israel and blindly supporting hamas. Only a handful of them realized-just as I do-the main concern in every fighting, the common people.

Today I read a news about a Palestinian farmer who had his land and buildings forcefully taken by hamas fighter as their so called fortress. After the conflict, he have lost his home and waited for the empty promises of hamas (de facto governing the Gaza strip) that will give him cash to rebuild his home. Other people also share the same situation, they were afraid to reject the using of their homes as weaponry hideouts by Hamas gunmen because they will be accused as supporters of israel and as the consequence, their homes are now no more than ruins as the israel forces targeted their homes as military targets.

I always dreaming of mankind to go to the final frontier further, exploring the distant stars. But with all of the above still happens, I'm not sure we are ready-as human or society-to embrace the bright future.
