Preston's resolution is meaningless and immoral. He's siding with the aggressors in this conflict. Israel did not initiate the killing, Hamas did. And it's Hamas now that prevents the Gaza Palestinians to leave the war zone, that puts their military operations underneath their homes, schools, hospitals, and it's Hamas who shoots the Palestinians who try to leave the area. Of all the Palestinians killed, how many were killed by Hamas, either directly by fire, or indirectly by placing their military under/around/besides civilians? Force or reason are the only two possibilities of discourse or interaction between any two or more humans. Reason is the moral choice; the initiation of the use of force to get what one wants is the immoral choice. Hamas is the initiator in this conflict, and as such, deserves what it gets. The civilians involved are tragic but it's Hamas primarily who is getting them killed, not Israel.
