A lot of people think that its wrong of Israel to defend itself. Think of it like our basic gun rights, if someone is shooting at you and you have a gun, wouldn't you shoot back? Or would you rather give up your arms and surrender? but this isn't a person to person situation, Its worse then that. The only reason rockets are being fired in the first place is because Israel is being provoked, and its definitely working.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Blood thirsty morons on both sides.
What exactly will be accomplished by this latest blood-letting? Other than people who shouldn't be dead, will be. On both sides.
I'd call it sickening, but that should go without saying.

I have a close friend who was in the PLO, and he believes Hamas in fact receive covert funding from Israel, as a way of keeping the Palestinians divided as well as providing a convenient and immediate enemy.

If this is true then why do they still cry God gave us this land when people ask them why are they stealing land from the Palestinians?
Like I said ... they need to dump that mentality. The Jews claim God gave them Israel via Abraham. The Muslims claim that God gave them Israel via Abraham because the Jews didn't fulfill the agreement. .

That's exactly the point. I don't understand what is so difficult to understand about Hamas being a terrorist organization. If Hamas was sitting on a border next to the US and were launching rockets, into say Texas, they'd be obliterated. If you ask me, the Palestinians would be much better off without Hamas ruling over them.

Well .. if Hamas would stop firing rockets at Israel, then Israel wouldn't have a reason to shoot back.

Well if Israel would stop stealing their land, mass arresting their people and forcing people out of their homes so more claim jumpers could move in Hamas wouldn't have a reason to shoot rockets at Israel. Not to mention even if Hamas didn't fire rockets Israel would arrange something themselves so they would have a reason to attack Gaza.

and the Palestinian "Final Solution" begins.. GENOCIDE !!!!
It is disappointing, but i can't help but think the international scene is just as responsible for the continuing violence. They should be enforcing the UN laws of which Israel has broken. Israel thinks it can do what ever it wants, simply because it has done so in the past.
