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. I don't underestimate the impact of the Hamas rockets on Israel but do you really think that what Hamas is doing is equal to the utter and total destruction Israel is reigning on Gaza? Do you really think its reasonable that Israel is slowing but surely annexing the WB and Gaza and taking their water.........in a part of the world where water is the equivalent to gold? Answer my fucking questions for a change instead waxing all nostalgic like an American Jew..........oh Israel, my homeland........as they drive in their Mercedes.......yes, a German car......back to Beverly Hills. I have repeatedly said I don't like either side in this conflict.....they are both bad people. And I sure as hell I don't like the US giving a ton of $$$ to a Putin wannabe and his country. But I know damn well when something unfair is getting perpetrated..........there is a certain bad smell to it. And what is happening in Palestine is very ugly.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. Oh aren't you the generous one. But if Native Americans started demanding their lands back from the American gov't because they so miss their homeland, their wild and natural homeland, you and your cohort would be screaming bloody murder. But when it comes to Israel, screw the Arabs.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. Huh? There is a large water aquifer under the WB. Israel has taken control of the utility that administers the distribution of the water and is taking 4/5 of its output for itself:theguardian.com There is no excuse for your ignorance on this matter.
