I find it impossible to be impartial when Hamas is calling for our complete and utter destruction. I'm backing Israel on this one, wholeheartedly.

I'm rather conflicted - Israel is killing innocents, I'm just not sure what the better way is.

Innocents are getting killed because the terrorists are hiding behind them. Then again, it's my experience that there are very few truly innocent Palestinians- see the first half of my initial story.

It is the way of the "islamlic" militant to use our reluctance to take innocent life against us by hiding behind the innocent. Ultimately, they don't care if their own people die, as long as they achieve whatever goal they seek. Keep in mind, that Hamas also attacked and killed many "innocents" from their rival Fatah, including women and children.

They've also fired over 9000 rockets into Israeli cities since the year 2000... That's right, 1000 rockets per year raining down, not on military installations, or armies, but on the town centers, schools, restaurants and shops of Israeli cities.

The Palestinians are now reaping what they sowed.

There are in fact innocent Palestinians. It's rather unethical to suggest otherwise, especially as there are plenty of children involved, and it's far, far too easy to blame an entire group for the actions of some of them ( ... )

There is no question, that some of the Palestinians are innocent. However by and large, even the children are taught to hate ( ... )

I COMPLETELY see Israels POV on this. Almost EVERY Cease Fire that Hamas agreed on, they broke, then they cry to the world that Israel is persecuting them.

Its like poking a stick at a sleeping bear....Eventually you WILL wake it up, and you have no one buy yourself to blame for it.

I agree squirejoe January 13 2009, 18:52:48 UTC

There is a big difference between Qassams/Katyushas and Israel's bombing ( ... )
