Is Israel using too much force against Hamas, or should Israel go further to stop the bombings and rocket attacks?

    Even the Palestinians say that it is the fault of Hamas, yet Hamas retains power. What would we do if terrorists were daily firing rockets into American cities from say Canada or Mexico? We would respond with much force. To say that Palestinians were murdered is a little much. It has already been proven that they stage funerals for the cameras and make the death toll numbers higher than they actually are. The lies that over a thousand Palestinians were killed were from the enemies of Israel to make them look bad.

    Israel took rocket fire for over eight years, where their citizens lived in fear of being killed by a rocket landing in their living room. They need to wipe out Hamas and root the terrorists out so that they can never respond by firing more rockets into Israel. Americans would never stand for the possibility of a rocket landing on them while they were watching MSNBC.

    This is outrageous to me that Americans can judge the nation of Israel for using too much force. You have to wipe out your enemies so that they don't regroup and attack you again and again and again. Palestinians used prescription bottles to make homemade grenades when Israel let aid into the Gaza during the conflict. This shows that as long as Hamas retains power there will never be any peace between ...''

This shows that as long as Hamas retains power there will never be any peace between them and Israel. Both sides have got to want peace for peace to work. Yet Hamas will never stand for Israel being a nation and have vowed to wipe them off the map, to push them into the sea. This is just surely silly to me for the whole world to condemn a nation that goes to great lengths to protect innocent civilians from being killed by dropping literature on the areas they are going to attack. So what does Hamas do, they use human shields, fire at Israel and expect Israel not to respond in kind.

    Give me a break, the liberals are crying about Israel, the UN is crying about Israel, the whole world is a thorn in Israel's side. They are not supposed to take action against an enemy that is right at their back door. Americans would never and have never had to endure the kind of treatment that Israel has had to withstand. I support Israel and say wipe out the terrorists. I expect they will attack Iran, just like they attacked Iraq and wiped out their nuclear program. We should be thanking them for wiping out Iraq's nuclear program that we did not have to face in the first gulf war or the second one. Iran will attack Israel and who knows what other nation if they get nukes. The crazy leader of that nation has already said so. Wipe em out Israel. attack israel nation nukes crazy leader nation wipe em israel attack israel nation nukes crazy leader nation wipe em israel

    Elelctions were coming up. Plain and simple. They murdered over 600 women and children to get into office.
    1300 Palestinian deaths, mostly civiilans.
    13 Israeli deaths, 10 of those SOLDIERS-
    3 of THOSE killed by FRIENDLY FIRE.
    Over 6,000 casualties of Palestinians.
    It is a genocide.

    Israel is attacked daily by Hamas rocket fire in southern Israel, and that land has been ordained by God Himself to Jacob.

    And now Iran has nuclear capability to make bombs, dont forget Iranian Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed to kill all Jews and unbelievers. Thats why Obama is kissing a his butt right now.

    As an American and a Christian, I support Israel's right to exsit, and not be wiped out by the Muslims!

    ... and for anyone who thinks that not all Muslims are like that they should read for themselves what the Quran says!

    it says even the rocks will cry out to kill the Jews and Christians that are hiding behind it so the Jihad fighter can slay them.

    Americans (but not all) take for granted the peace and safety we have in our country and should realize that we only get that security because we fight for it not hug it away!

    War must happen its unaviodable in some situations, but if the world was perfect God would have already set up a new Jerusalem and a new earth through Jesus the Christ ...



    When do you ever see Jews burning some else's flag and Rabbi's blowing people up, or have you ever heard someone say, well not all Jews kill in the name of Jahova? NO YOU DONT!...

    It's a merry-go-round. It happens this way year in, year out. If a few times Israel did nothing, perhaps there would be a step in the right direction, but I doubt it. For eternity, if Israel occupies land that was given to them by foreign nations at the expense of the Palestinians, then the occupied will see it as their duty to rebel against it. This war will last forever; many lives will be lost, no progress will be made and it will cost Americans billions of dollars forever. No-one will admit the truth of the cock-up of the original idea of taking land for a religious group. I expect to never see a solution in my lifetime.

    Personally, I don't see any point in the back and forth attacks between Israel and their Islamic neighbors. From what I see, each just bombs the hell out of the other, saying they're only doing it to stop themselves from being bombed, but then the other side just bombs them back out of revenge for being bombed. It's like the Hatfields and McCoys. Each side is just going to keep attacking the other in retaliation for previous retaliations until they either wipe each other out or someone decides to finally sit down and solve their differences like big boys.
