>> .no one has started a war with Israel in decades. What Hamas is doing is an uprising; not a war. Once again you underestimate the effect of these rockets being fired into Israel. Which is strange to me since you seem to have been traumatized by a little riot in LA. Or a bad break-up. I'm not sure which. Either way, you should understand the psychological impact of incoming rockets on a daily basis. It had to be stopped, Israel asked politely multiple times, and Hamas refused to stop. So, Israel is doing what it has to. My only quarrel with it is that I don't think Israel ought to sacrifice one of their own lives to avoid casualties among the Arabs who started this mess. I appreciate their rationale for trying to avoid collateral damage, but the Arabs don't value life and the Israelis do. >> So long as Israel keeps stealing their land and water, the Palestinians will keep rising up. Its human nature. Israel has "stolen" no land or water. In fact, Israel is under ZERO obligations under international law to provide water or electricity or any of the things they provide. One could argue that it is absurd to think that a country that is under attack by its neighbor should provide water or electricity. As to the land, the Arabs don't own the land. They have never agreed to the terms by which Israel took possession (the last time) of the land. >> And eventually this will not end well for the Israelis. Its too late for peace. The Israelis have made their bed and must lie in it. It didn't have to be this way. The 7 surrounding Arab states attacked Israel the day after British Rule ended. The Arabs made THEIR fucking bed and Israel had no choice in the matter. The problem here is you don't know the history. You know what you get off of MSNBC and that is it.
