“I share your pain at the loss of civilian life, and I think that Israelis share your pain as well. But I think it is important to make several points here.

Surely there is a distinction targeting terrorists with unfortunate collateral damage (Israel) and targeting civilians with the intent of killing civilians (Hamas). Believe me, if Israel wanted to commit genocide, in bombing a thousand targets in the most densely populated area on earth, they would and could have killed far more than 500 people (75% of whom, according to the UN, are armed terrorists). I think Israel is trying to avoid civilian casualties and, with some unfortunate unavoidable exceptions, doing an outstanding job.

At that, surely if you have a problem with Israel firing at civilian centers, you would also condemn Hamas which is – you guessed it! – targeting civilian centers. Your silence in the face of Palestinian terrorism is telling…

Moreover, I would argue that your denial of Israel’s right to defend its civilians against lethal Hamas attacks – essentially having innocent Israelis and their children be sitting ducks for genocidal terrorists – is nothing short of genocidal itself.

The painful scenes that Palestinian children are witnessing are sad, but also important. Palestinian children are also learning an important life lesson – terrorism against innocent civilians doesn’t pay. Far from achieving independence and honor, it brings Palestinians suffering, humiliation and devastation. Instead of building rockets and training to be suicide bombers perhaps these children will do something more than their foolish parents – perhaps they’ll build themselves an economy, hospitals, and infrastructure and become something more than a hotbed for terrorism and hate.

Oh, and as for the “occupation.” Israel withdrew from Gaza two years ago. The Palestinians – in elections monitored by Jimmy Carter and the EU – elected Hamas. So what on earth is “occupation” other than yet another buzzword to excuse all Palestinian wrongs?”

Israel should have gone in to Gaza after the FIRST lobbed rocket into Israel.

BUT, notice how the Hizbullah responds to the Gaza punishment? Beside some jibber jabber from the ragheads in the north, nothing else!

Israel, please, do not let up now. What you did and are doing now works. Arab is a cowardly race. Like typical cowardly bullies, kick them in the balls and they’ll run away yelping.

Thank you ISRAEL!

Let’s dig up some of the people in Ireal and ask them if those rockets that killed or wounded them hurt? AAAAHH, we can’t ask them, they’re dead!!

It just points out how stupid the people in Gaza are!! Like it’s ok for them to attach another country, but let’s cry to the world if they fight back.
