With Rights Come Responsibilities

Even if one is justified in taking military action, one needs to respect the rights of others. Here are my present thoughts on what this means in the Middle East.

Peace,

    I very much agree with what you wrote in this article, “With Rights Come Responsibilities”. Thanks for sharing with us what Pope John XXIII wrote and the meaning it has for the current Middle East situation involving Israel and the Palestinian people especially those living in the Gaza Strip. There has to be a better way for the Palestinian people in Gaza as this has been their homeland for generations. Enough said on my part. You have very well represented the situation in what you have written above. Thanks again and I am grateful that you wrote about it.
