Hmm, yes. Now I think I understand your position if you're Israel.Originally Posted by Crazed Rabbit
"CR, sir, we've news that Hamas rebels have fired rockets into Israeli territory and killed eight of our citizens. What do we do?
"Well, its obvious, isn't it? We're going to carpet bomb the area they may have come from and kill about 50 or so Palestinians. Then build an extension of the wall over where a bunch of houses used to be. Oh, and just to make sure they hate us nice and good and can get plenty of sympathizers who'll join Hamas, lets put some sanctions on them so we can starve the rest of them so they have no food or water or gas. That'll teach 'em nice and good to not mess with us!"
CR, perhaps you haven't heard, but, believe it or not, the vast majority of Palestinians are just mostly regular people, trying to support their families and earn a decent living. Amazingly enough, they aren't all foaming at the mouth, crazed, trying for a mass extinction of Israel. Yes, there are some crazies, but all Israel's heavy handed policies do is give those crazies more ammo to work with and turn more and more of moderate muslims against them.
