Oh those humanitarian Israeli's! Hamas' opinion that Israel doesn't exist is more or less a direct consequence of the relentless Israeli lack of will to recognize any sort of Palestinian sovereignty. Really, if you lived in the Gaza strip for 30 years and suddenly a party came up who are pro-militant resistance to the occupation you've spent your entire life under wouldn't you vote for it? I'm sorry to say this, but the Israeli's have brought Hamas on themselves through their reluctance to make way for any progress.
And don't give me that humanitarian Israeli warning. 20 Israeli's died during 2008 as a result of Hamas rockets, Just to put the humanitarian aspect of the Israeli's into proportion: *412 Palestinians died as a direct result of Israeli weapons. Now tell me, what does this behavior foster for the future generations?

War is war. There are no innocents. Ask the countries involved in WW2, the civilians of Vietnam in the 60s/70s, Lebonanon in the 80s, Yugoslavia in the 90s and the people of Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya/Syria within the last decade if war stops at all such acts of terror from both sides. That it manifests itself as rockets this time rounds is irrelevant. If the Israeli government treated the situation as that of terrorism, it wouldn't have struck back the same way that terrorists do. The Troubles of Northern Ireland weren't resolved by the British Army seeking out and destroying the IRA at every corner and at every cost, with incursions or strikes inside the Republic of Ireland if necessary. Hamas is a political force mandated by its violent stance towards Israel. Israel striking Gaza merely proves their point, strengthens their political support and entrenches them further.
If Israel truly wanted peace, it would ignore Gaza - negotiation with Hamas is pointless, yet striking against them a waste of time and lives on both sides - and focus on allowing the West Bank to prosper independently, which is absolutely not the case at the moment. That those inside Gaza willingly choose violence over a humiliating status as a non-nation, as is the case with their counterparts in the West Bank, is not at all surprising.

100% correct....Israel targets Hamas training centers, weapons stores, and military targets while the cowards in Gaza fire rockets at any target that they can hit in Israel, they probably get a huge erection when they find out their missiles killed innocent women and children...all in the name of God ???!!!!!!!!
It takes real SCUMBAG COWARDS to hide in the midst of women and children, and then parade their bodies for the cameras when they are killed instead of the terrorists. Israel is doing all they can to target the terrorists, not women and children
If I was the leader of Israel, I would stop the food, water and electricity that they deliver to Gaza, until the missiles stopped.
If Hamas isn't 100% responsible for the rocket attacks, then its up to them to control the splinter factions in Gaza that are run by Iran and Al-Queida, otherwise, they are going to be punished even further. They are supposed to be in control of the strip....throw the others out !!! The rockets stop, the retaliation stops, plain and simple
I cant see the picture, but if that's the case, then he deserved it !!!

This kid was killed today at Gaza. He was trying to shoot a missile into Zionists when he was shot by a drone...
