Answer
(Eye for an eye
The Israeli's should stop answering terrorist rocket attacks on their civilian population and cities with surgical attacks aimed at Hamas targets, and return rocket for rocket. Hamas targets civilian centers, Israel should do the same. Rockets are terror weapons, because no-one knows where they will come down, like the buzz-bombs and V2's Hitler rained down on London. The Palestinian people cheer when Hamas sends rockets to kill Israeli civilians, because they know Israel doesn't send rockets back, let's see if they still cheer when Israel sends rockets to kill THEIR families, they deserve no less. The whiners in the UN, etc. who never condemn Hamas, only Israel's attempts to protect themselves, are beneath contempt. Hamas is not freedom fighters or martyrs, just insatiable mad, murderous, cowardly dogs to be destroyed. Freedom fighters do not strap bombs on children, or murder men, women, children (including other Muslims) in stores and cafes.)
Your opinion is a clear nonsense, for babies and small children. The Israel made the first genocide of the 21st Century. Killed only children and civilians and not Hamas fighters. How many people in Israel Killed by the rockets of Hamas and how many from Israeli bombs in Gaza? None from rockets and 1500 (official) from Israeli bombs, so stop saying all that nonsenses about Israel's right for selfdefense. And the Nazis in WWII they said "we killed thousands because the partizans killed some of our soldiers" anyone can find excuses for his crimes. If you want to find Hitler's successors today look in Israel and not in Gaza, and remember that Yitzhak Rabin killed by an Israeli not by Palestinian or Arab OK!
Greatness of article
this was a great article!!!! Gaza deserves what they get!!!!!
ISRAEL JUSTIFIED IN ATTACKING GAzA
EVERY SOVEREIGN NATION HAS ITS CONSTUTIONAL RIGHT TO DEFEND ITS
BORDERS AND PEOPLE. REALLY, IT WAS THE ROCKETS FIRED FROM GAZA UPON ISRAEL LANDS THAT CAUSED THE WAR. HAMAS LEADERSHIP ARE SUBBORN AND UNFORGIVING. THEY WOULD SACREFICE THEIR OWN CITIZENS FOR A CAUSE THAT CANNOT WIN. THE PRESENT CEASE FIRE IS ONLY TEMPORARY AT BEST. THE THINKING AND THEOLOGY OF HAMAS WILL NOT CHANGE. IT IS FOREVER AND EVER. SO THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THESE KIND OF SENSELESS WARS AND CONFLICTS.
PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN IS A VERY ILLUSIVE THOUGHT IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD. IT SHOULD HAPPEN, BUT WILL IT?

NIOMI LOVES STEESH XXXXXXXX
I oppose the measuer of Israel
i strongely oppose the hamas thougt because hamas was thinking to destroy the people of israel .this wrong atitude puses the leaders of hamas to shoot lots of roket.and finaly the people who are living in palstine were the only atacked.even the leaders of israel are not thinking in beter maner than palestine. because the target of attach is basicaly not only on the responsible hamas but also on the pure society.
Domestic politics in Israel and Foreign Affairs
The connections between the elections and the war seem obvious to many of us here in Israel. Also apparent, but less discussed in media, is the tacit approval, if not encouragement of some of Israel's neighbors, who would like to see Hamas and by extension, Syria and Iran, damaged. A recent analysis of these causes appears in another article: http://www.helium.com/items/1296210-why-did-israel-attack-gaza
HAMAS -JAHIED -MULSEMS
THEY ONLY UNDERSTAND HEAVY HANDED TATICS.
THE PALYS MUST BE CONTROLED 100% UNILATERALLY .
EXTERMINATION IS THE SOLUTION FOR THESE PIECES OF DIRT. GIVE THEM TIME AND THEY WANT TO OVER POPULATE AND AREA ALLOWED THEM . PALYS THINK HAVING MORE OF THEM/HUGE MATEINGS JUSTIFIES THERE WICKED LIEING WAYS.
I don't know how to stop the war.
I don't want to die more people .
especially the children and
the people from all over the world should request for stopping the war.
may be my thought is childish,
make the big woll border between them.
and agreed for not attack each other.
