The largesse of Israelis setting up hospitals to minister to the people they

wounded is close to parent killers saying "have mercy, we're orphans!"



These punishing attacks haven't stopped the rockets in the past. Why would

anyone think they would now?


They don't have to stop them for enternity, but they do have to respond.
What would you think an American president and military would do if
terrorists that are in control of the Canadian govt, were firing hundreds
of rockets into the USA? What would we do if they kidnapped 3 American
teenagers, killed them, and the leaders saluted the actions? Please
answer that with a view to 99% of US presidents, the present one, of course,
excepted.




Israel loses a little more support all over the world whenever it engages in

lop-sided battles against Palestinian civilians. Every child killed gets to

be a martyr for the jihadis.



Israel needs a new strategy because this one is not only not working, it's

working against them.


Easy to say, but impossible from a practical standpoint to do. You're
dealing with terrorist fanatics that don't have the values that most of
the civilized world does. They won't even accept the most basic of
steps toward peace, like Israel's right to exist. Israel of course accepts
the right of the Palestinians to exist. And every overture that Israel
has made, eg withdrawing unilaterally from Gaza, has only been met by
more violence and aggression.
